STEEL CITY SHOWDOWN
Mellon Arena - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - 17,500
[05.27.07]


Before the pay portion of the pay-per-view gets underway, we’re all set to enjoy the half-hour pre-show presented by Pro Wrestling Warriors for tonight’s Steel City Showdown pay-per-view presentation! Scott The Scoop and Richard Avalio are at ringside, at the announcer’s table, as thousands of screaming fans fill the Mellon Arena right here in the Steel City, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Scott The Scoop:
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for tuning in to the 30-minute pre-show before we kick things off here, in the Steel City itself, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania! We’re coming at you live from the Mellon Arena, and Rick… have you ever seen a more rabid, wild, pack of fans – outside of Philadelphia, of course – than the fans here tonight in the Mellon Arena?

Richard Avalio:
Haha, you’re right about that, Scotty. These fans know what they want. They’ve come to see blood. They’ve come to see gore. And they’ve come to see the greatest professional wrestling company on the planet, Pro Wrestling Warriors.

Scott The Scoop:
Steel City Showdown is set up to be a hell of a show, but before we get to the action, let’s talk about the matches we’re going to see tonight…

For those viewing at home, the screen changes to a graphic showing the first match on the card, the six-way dance.

Richard Avalio:
The Traditional Division is heating up, and six hungry, ambitious individuals are going to be taking place in a match that I guarantee will get out of control. It’s a six-way dance between Brett Stokes, TJ Williams, Cameron Mitchell, AJ Cross, Matt Galaxy, and Chris Cosmos. This match has EVERYTHING, Scott. Crazy glam rock stars, egomaniacal stock market whizzes, apathetic death metal-loving pessimists, a crazy comedian, and to top it all off, a couple of guys who think they’re extra-terrestrials.

Scott The Scoop:
I dare you to repeat that again, Rick. It’s certainly a powder keg waiting to explode, and what makes it even more exciting – you don’t have to tag in to enter the ring! It’s lucha-libre rules tonight, here at Steel City Showdown. It’s going to get out of control. Who’s your pick to win the whole thing and walk out with a higher ranking in the Traditional Division?

Richard Avalio:
It’s a tough call, but I’m going with one of those aliens to win the whole thing. Those guys are controversial, they’re crazy, and most importantly, they’re HUNGRY. I’ve never seen aliens with such drive and determination. Who do you look to win this match, Scott?

Scott The Scoop:
Well, as interesting as the aliens may be, I’m going to be looking for Brett Stokes or AJ Cross to make a big splash in the match. Stokes has been on the cusp of a break-through in the traditional division for months, and Cross is just returning after a brief hiatus. He’s looking to make a big impact in Pro Wrestling Warriors.

Richard Avalio:
He’s not the only one. It looks like EVERYBODY wants to come to Pro Wrestling Warriors, especially with the death of Hybrid Championship Wrestling and Revolutionary Hardcore Wrestling. There are no other wrestling promotions in the United States.

Scott The Scoop:
Nope, absolutely none. None worth mentioning, anyway. The next match is going to be an exciting one as well. For months now, Victor Scott has been able to one-up Dun, putting the amiable equality fighter to shame. Dun insists that living your life in a respectful manner is key in obtaining success, but Victor Scott has proven that the age-old proverb that “Cheaters never prosper” is malarkey. He’s been on the winning road in his last few matches.

Richard Avalio:
Dun needs to reevaluate his career, because if he’s suffering loss after loss to a guy who HE’S insulting, then he may have to look in the mirror. I look for Scott to continue his winning ways tonight, because he’s willing to do absolutely ANYTHING to get the big win.

Scott The Scoop:
A big win, indeed, because if he could shutout Dun and defeat him yet again, I would surely be impressed. I think the statistics are on Dun’s side, as he’s bound to get a victory eventually. Will good triumph over evil, or will the devil have his day? I’m very interested in this match…

Richard Avalio:
Heh, funny you should mention the devil, because when I think satan, I think dark… and there are none darker than Seth Sinister and Michael Simons. These two have done everything short of killing each other, and tonight, they may very well have that opportunity in a casket match.

Scott The Scoop:
It’s Pro Wrestling Warriors’ first ever casket match. The winner will be the man who encloses his opponent in the casket to the point where he cannot escape. Michael Simons has been waging war against “Entertainment Establishment” since the day he first set foot in a Pro Wrestling Warriors ring, and he plans to exterminate Seth Sinister tonight. I’m rooting for Simons. He seems determined and focused.

Richard Avalio:
Seth Sinister is off his rocker, for sure. He’s crazed and willing to do anything, but in a match like this, it’s important to really think of strategy. Now, I’m sure a lot of people at home think, “What kind of strategy can be involved in a casket match?” Well, think about it. You have to choose the right opportunity to enclose your opponent in the casket, because if he’s not sufficiently weakened, he can easily counter. You might end up getting thrown in yourself if you aren’t careful. Seth seems on his way to being focused, but like you said, Michael Simons is focused. He’s going to have a huge advantage in the match, as he’s undefeated in singles competition.

Scott The Scoop:
You bring up another interesting point, though. He’s undefeated in singles competition, but this is the first time Michael Simons has fought in this match. I’m not sure of Seth Sinister’s history, but he seems like the type of guy who would be well aware of this match. Simons has been undefeated throughout his history in Modern Day Warriors and Pro Wrestling Warriors, but he’s never faced a challenge… quite like this one. This is not only the first casket match in PWW, but the first casket match Michael Simons has ever competed in.

Richard Avalio:
And then we have two men who just plain don’t like each other, Scott. Roderick Brookes and Richard Storrs are going to face off tonight, and let me tell you, I think this is the sleeper match on the card. These two are very talented wrestlers and have a bright future. This match could be key in establishing either and getting them to the point where they have some gold around their waist. In fact… could you imagine if these two buried the hatchet and went into the tag team scene?

Scott The Scoop:
Oh, God, could you imagine? The people hate them enough individually, but if they teamed up, I doubt we’d make it through one of their matches without garbage littering the ring… But all those other thoughts aside, I think Roderick Brookes, being the stronger, more driven of the two, will take this. Richard Storrs has been annoying him a lot, and that anger is going to propel Brookes into a big victory tonight, which will get him back on track to obtaining a championship title belt.

Richard Avalio:
I agree. I think Richard Storrs is a real talent, but overcoming the strength and tenacity of Roderick Brookes at this point would probably be impossible. I can’t see Brookes losing this match, and if he did, it would be a tremendous upset.

Scott The Scoop:
Speaking of UPSET, I don’t think there is anyone more UPSET than Bruce Bishop after the way Daniel Shine has been screwing him over and attacking him from behind. He finally gets his chance for redemption tonight in the I Quit match. Will Bruce Bishop utter those two words that Daniel Shine wishes to hear him say, or will Shine finally get his comeuppance?

Richard Avalio:
I’m going with Bruce in this. I don’t think Bishop is going to quit. He has too much pride. The hardcore element is something with which Bishop is very accustomed, and I can’t see Shine really utilizing the no-disqualification rule to its fullest benefit like Bishop.

Scott The Scoop:
Well, that was certainly worded eloquently, and I have to agree. Bruce Bishop is a hardcore legend. This guy has participated in more hardcore matches than perhaps anyone, and-

Avalio and Scoop are interrupted as Terry Martinez comes into view, getting some cheers and boos from the crowd.

Scott The Scoop:
Terry Martinez! What the hell are you doing here? I thought you were in the back...

Terry Martinez:
You didn’t think I’d let you talk about my boy Danny without being out here myself, did you? And what’s this I hear about hardcore matches? Bruce Bishop ain’t sh*t! I’ve been in matches that would make you puke up your own intestines, Scotty. Oh, hey, Rick.

Rick was trying to enjoy a candy bar, but he throws it and the wrapper into a conveniently located trashcan.

Terry Martinez:
Looks like I came out at the right time, because you two knuckleheads don’t know how to analyze this match. Daniel Shine is going to beat Bruce Bishop, plain and simple. He’s the superior athlete and he looks way better in a speedo. I mean...

Scott The Scoop:
I don’t know what was a more disgusting visual. Thank you, Trademark! Moving on, to the first of our title matches. The champions, the thorns in James Simpson’s side, Murderous Intent, are set to face both Studio 54 and The Grandstands in one hell of a match, a three-team fall to crawl tables, ladders, and chairs match. And this one… is going to get bloody.

Richard Avalio:
How do you pick a team-oh, Terry’s leaving…

And so he does…

Scott The Scoop:
Good riddance. Continue.

Richard Avalio:
It’s hard to pick one of these three teams. Murderous Intent has the intensity. Studio 54 has the high flying acrobatics. The Grandstands have both, really. Vista has the power. Reed has the agility. They’re two hungry competitors, so I think they’re going to be great… However, for this match, you need speed. The name of the game is climbing that ladder and getting the title. You have to be quick, and for that, Studio 54 are the best options.

Scott The Scoop:
Interesting choice, Richard. When I look at this match, I try to see who’s really going into this with any advantages. You look at Bauer and Vinaldi as the champions, but they have no real advantage. They have to perform the same feat as everybody else in the match in order to win – pin someone and get the tag belts. However, I think Bauer and Vinaldi are better wrestlers. There are things you can’t teach or a combo you can’t put together. Will Bauer and Drake Vinaldi may be jokes in the backstage sometimes, but when they get in the ring, they are entirely serious. There come none better than Vinaldi and Bauer. Murderous Intent are the best tag team champions I’ve seen in a very long time, and I don’t see them losing tonight.

Richard Avalio:
And up next we have the three-way hardcore match for the Traditional Title. It’s a triple threat match, meaning it’s one fall. The first pin or submission wins the title. Tristan Novak, is therefore, going into this match without an advantage. I don’t see him walking out of this with the belt. There are way too many things working against him. He has to perform the same feat as everyone else, just like Murderous Intent. He has to score a pin or submission, and he can’t let another one occur. He’s not as experienced in hardcore environments like Shawn Walsh. Alex and Shawn are larger, but we’ll see if that truly provides a disadvantage. I’m going with Shawn Walsh to win, as he seems to be in great shape and is a veteran, or even a LEGEND, of hardcore.

Scott The Scoop:
I have to agree with you there, Richard. Shawn Walsh is the most accomplished hardcore wrestler in the match, and he goes in with a definitive advantage. Alex Michaels and Shawn Walsh are both driven to defeat Tristan Novak, so I don’t think Tristan can play mind games and turn them against each other… It’s going to be a difficult match for the Traditional Champion. He can hope his stamina pulls through and he can somehow, at the end of the night, get a pin… That’s his best hope, but I’m predicting a Shawn Walsh championship win.

Richard Avalio:
Of course, let’s not forget about Alex Michaels. He’s the first PWW Traditional Champion, and he undoubtedly wants to get his belt back. He’s the only one of the three who knows what it’s like to lose that title, and the yearning to regain it must be indescribable.

Scott The Scoop:
Certainly… and that brings us to the main event of the evening, one-on-one, it’s Lance Van Leer, the PWW World Heavyweight Champion, taking on Rob Cavallo. But it’s not just any match. It is a Steel Cage match, right here in the Steel City itself, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Obviously a lot of variables in this one… wouldn’t you say, Richard?

Richard Avalio:
Certainly, Scott. Rob Cavallo has been palling around with Lance Van Leer’s wife for the last few weeks, so that’s going to be in the back of Lance’s mind, and I wouldn’t be surprised if she shows up at ringside and really puts a mental strain on her hubby. Lance has the World Title. He’s on top of the mountain, and for years, I’ve seen a young Rob Cavallo stare up and see the World Champion. He wants to be on that mountain, Scott. Rob Cavallo is perhaps the hungriest man on the roster, and I think he’s going to bring Lance a fight tonight… However, Lance Van Leer is the World Heavyweight Champion for a reason. I’ve heard a lot of people doubting him, saying he likes to use backstage politics. Yeah, it’s obvious. I’ll admit it right now; LVL is a politician. That’s how he got the title shot against Vinaldi and won the title in the first place. But look at the list of people Lance Van Leer has defeated… Komodo, Roderick Brookes, Drake Vinaldi, Brady Cruise… well, that last one isn’t so much, but he’s been a force in PWW. He’s held the HCW World Title, the MDW World Title, and now the PWW World Title, and he’s solidified himself as a major player in wrestling. Tonight, when Rob Cavallo goes into that ring, inside the steel cage, he’s going to discover that his ex-best friend is champion for a reason. Lance Van Leer is a prime physical specimen and arguably the greatest wrestler alive. I wouldn’t put anyone above him… He’s going to retain his title tonight, Scott. He’s going to defeat Rob Cavallo and make him pay for these mind games.

Scott The Scoop:
How can you say that, though? I’ll give you one thing… Lance Van Leer is the World Champion, but he’s been nothing but a backstabbing bastard since day one. He’s turned on Brady Cruise and Rob Cavallo, not the other way around. The man clearly suffers from deep forms of depression and paranoia and needs to be checked into a mental facility. Tonight, Lance Van Leer is going to walk inside the steel cage and come face to face with his predecessor, because Rob Cavallo is at the top of his game right now. Rob Cavallo has just played mind games with the master of mind games. He’s successfully gotten inside of Lance Van Leer’s head, with a lot of help from Roderick Brookes, but he’s done it. He’s going to defeat Lance Van Leer tonight, because LVL isn’t in the right mental state to defend that World Title….

Richard Avalio:
Well, we’ll certainly find out later tonight what happens. But before the action kicks underway, we’ve got a special treat for everyone watching our pre-show. It’s a one-on-one hardcore match between Zack Wicked and Sato Sakichi.


We go to a full view of the ring, where weapons are scattered everywhere, and Zack Wicked is already waiting on his opponent, Sato Sakichi.

Match one:
Sato Sakichi versus Zack Wicked
Exhibition: Hardcore

Sakichi runs to the ring and picks up a few weapons at ringside – a steel chair, trashcan and lid, and kendo stick – and throws them inside the squared circle. Wicked grabs the trashcan, and Sakichi grabs the kendo stick on his way inside. Wicked attempts to hit Sakichi with the trashcan, but Sakichi goes low with the stick, whacking Wicked’s left leg with it. Wicked throws the trashcan, hitting Sakichi in the head, but to little effect. Sakichi takes another shot, cracking Zack right between the eyes with the kendo stick! Wicked goes down, holding his head. Sakichi holds the cane up to cheers from the crowd and watches as Wicked crawls on his hands and knees. Sato cracks the cane against his back, and Wicked has already been busted open on his forehead. Sakichi throws the kendo stick down and grabs the steel chair. Wicked gets to the corner and Sato charges, but Zack gets a big foot up, catching Sakichi in the head with the chair! Sakichi falls back, and Wicked goes to the top rope. He leaps off, looking for the Wickedsplash as the crowd cheers, but he misses. Sakichi returns to his feet and kicked a kneeling Wicked fiercely. He drives a few boots into his chest and attempts a spin kick, but Wicked ducks under and grabs Sakichi… German Suplex! Sakichi gets dropped on the back of his head as Wicked licks his wounds and rolls outside.

He reaches under the ring, sliding out what appears to be… yes! A table. He slides it inside the ring and props it against the corner, preparing to use it later. Sakichi gets back to his feet and throws the steel chair at Wicked, catching him in his already-bloodied face. Wicked staggers a bit as Sakichi charges, grabs him into a front facelock, kicks off the table, spins, and nails a sick Tornado DDT. Sakichi makes the cover, but it’s to no avail. Sato gets back to his feet and grabs the chair. He places it in the middle of the ring and tries lifting Wicked for what appears to be a DDT onto the chair. Wicked shoves him off. Sakichi bounces off the ropes and returns, and Wicked plants him onto the chair with a nasty lariat. He lifts Sakichi and hoists him onto his shoulder. Wicked prepares to throw Sakichi through the table with a Wickedbomb, but Sato slides out and quickly grabs the chair. Wicked turns around and takes a huge shot to the head. Sakichi throws the chair down and grabs Wicked… There’s the DDT on the chair! One, two, thr-NO! Wicked powers out in time! Sakichi waits on Wicked to get up, stalking him for a superkick. He goes for it, but Wicked moves out of the way. Zack doubles Sakichi over with a kick to the gut and whips him into the corner opposite the one with the table. He charges, looking for a clothesline, but Sakichi kicks him in the jaw. Wicked staggers across the ring, and Sakichi, with fury on his mind, charges… RUNNING RICOCHET THROUGH THE TABLE! The table in the corner gets obliterated, and Sakichi drags Wicked out of the remnants, pinning him in the middle of the ring, one, two, three.

Winner: Sato Sakichi via Pinfall at 7:25

Sakichi gets his hand raised after the match and seems pretty content with his victory, having done nicely against the much larger opponent…

Richard Avalio:
Wow! That was an impressive showing from Sakichi.

Scott The Scoop:
He came here tonight with a clear intention – destroying Zack Wicked. And now it’s time to go backstage for our new segment, “The Mop Bucket” with Jimbo The Janitor…

Some cheesy music plays in the background as we see Jimbo cleaning up some puke in one of the bathrooms backstage at the Mellon Arena. He finally notices the camera and turns.

Jimbo The Janitor:
Well, howdy, y’all. This here is Jimbo the Janitor. Ya know, when I be moppin’ and cleanin’ and making sure these arenas are left sparkly fresh for the big events, I hear a lot of strange rumors goin’ around. Like yestaday, I heard there was some big names comin’ to Pro Rasslin’ Warriors. Like one… he was a… he was a world champion a few years ago. And another, why, he was a hardcore rassler. I remember back in da day, there wuz a lotta’ hardcore rasslin’. Seems to be kinda fizzled out. I sho’ do miss dat hardcore rassiln’… Oh, please don’t tell Mista’ Shine I said that… He’d hit me somethin’ fierce. Well, that’s all I got on today’s news. Back to you, Scoop!

We return to Scott The Scoop and Richard Avalio, who are trying to decipher this encoded message…

Scott The Scoop:
It’s hard to make out what he’s saying half the time, but I believe he mentioned something about a… former world champion coming here, to Pro Wrestling Warriors? A hardcore wrestler coming to PWW?

Richard Avalio:
Well, Jimbo may be a little late, because Shawn Walsh is already in PWW.

Scott The Scoop:
…True. Oh, that Jimbo; behind on the times.

Tonight’s World Heavyweight Title match has more than a championship belt on the line. There is a lot of emotion at stake, and the aftermath will surely affect PWW as a whole, and the lives of Lance Van Leer, Rob Cavallo, and Scarlett…

A video detailing the history of Lance Van Leer to the sound of Diseased by Seether is shown. We see the havoc that was wrought by Roderick Brookes when he infiltrated Lance’s home and ruined his personal life. The aftermath of Scarlett leaving is shown. Lance Van Leer defeats Roderick Brookes, but is left feeling lost… He becomes a bitter man, willing to do anything to get her back. Van Leer and Simpson screw Vinaldi out of his newly won World Title. Lance then lashes out at his best friends. He destroys Brady Cruise, severing their friendship forever. Rob Cavallo gets inside LVL’s head by bringing back Scarlett. Lance Van Leer has been a dominant champion, but tonight, it’s time to see if Rob Cavallo will be the man who stops him…

We cut back to ringside, where Scott The Scoop and Richard Avalio are eagerly anticipating the countdown clock to the kickoff of Steel City Showdown… Five… four… three… two…

Uh… three… four… five… quadrillion.

Just before the live portion of the show gets underway, we get a glimpse at the World Champion’s thought process as he prepares to wage war against a former friend tonight. Lance Van Leer’s paranoia is outweighed only by his obsession with retaining the Heavyweight Championship of the World. (http://forums.gamewinners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=534517)

The fans’ cheers are nearly as loud as the pyrotechnic explosions as Steel City Showdown officially kicks off tonight, live, from the Mellon Arena here in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania.

Scott The Scoop:
Over 17,000 rabid Pro Wrestling Warriors fans are packed into the Mellon Arena, right here in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to attend one of Pro Wrestling Warriors’ biggest events to date, Steel City Showdown. And I think it’s safe to say that this will go down as one of the biggest nights for wrestling, as it is the first pay-per-view in which Lance Van Leer will defend his World Heavyweight Championship against his rival Rob Cavallo.

Richard Avalio:
And let’s not forget that Daniel Shine and Bruce Bishop will etch another entry into the stone tablet of their epic rivalry as they duel in an I Quit match.

Scott The Scoop:
Shawn Walsh hopes to obtain yet another Championship Title and Alex Michaels hopes to regain his recently lost belt as they face Tristan Novak in a hardcore triple threat match. All this and much, much more will take place tonight, here in Pro Wrestling Warriors.

Backstage, it seems that TJ Williams is letting Maria Rounds distract him from what is really important… Winning the match. (http://forums.gamewinners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=534556)

Richard Avalio:
Now, let’s go to the ring where our opening match – a six-way Traditional Division rankings match – is about to take place…

Match one:
Brett Stokes versus TJ Williams versus Cameron Mitchell versus AJ Cross versus Matt Galaxy versus Chris Cosmos
Exhibition: Six-Way Dance

The crowd is ready to get into a surefire high-flying spotfest as six of the top Traditional Division athletes are set to fight in this rankings match. After some high stakes games of rock, paper, scissors, it looks like Matt Galaxy and TJ Williams are starting things off tonight. Galaxy and Williams move in, with Williams quickly going behind Galaxy into a waistlock. Matt breaks it and runs to the ropes, coming back to get taken over with an armdrag. Williams gets taken over with an armdrag of Galaxy’s own, followed by a dropkick that sends him falling out of the ring. Mitchell quickly jumps in the ring and clubs Galaxy from behind, taking advantage of the rules. He spins Galaxy around and nails a quick snapmare before kicking him in the back. Mitchell applies a rear chinlock, but Matt gets to his feet and breaks out of it by delivering a belly to back suplex. He makes the cover, but Cross comes into the ring and breaks it up. He whips Galaxy into the corner and nails a big clothesline that sandwiches the Martian. Cross hoists Galaxy to the top rope and tries to climb for a superplex, but Mitchell grabs Cross from behind and pulls him back for an elevated reverse neckbreaker.

Mitchell gets to his feet, and Galaxy leaps off the middle rope with a flying headscissors takeover, sending Cameron to the outside. Galaxy tags into Cosmos, who climbs to the top rope. Matt lifts Cross and takes him down with a snap DDT. Cosmos jumps off the top rope and nails a leg drop, getting a two count before Mitchell breaks it up. He lifts Cosmos and throws him out of the ring. Galaxy nails a spinning heel kick on Mitchell, taking him down, and he rolls out of the ring. Stokes climbs to the top rope, wanting some of this action, and flips off, taking down Galaxy. He gets to his feet, and Cross grabs him out of nowhere – Cross Cutter! Stokes rolls out of the ring, grabbing his neck, and Williams attacks Crsos with a double axe handle. He takes him over with a snapping armdrag before applying an armlock. Cross is back up and reverses it into a hammerlock, but Williams connects with a series of elbows before grabbing Cross around the neck and nailing a jawbreaker. Cross staggers back and Williams clotheslines him so hard that both men flip over the top rope and land on the outside.

The ring is devoid of human life, like most of Cosmos’ and Galaxy’s home planet, but speak of the devil – those two return to the ring. They stare at the downed Cross and Williams. AJ and TJ are back to their feet and start exchanging fists, but Cosmos and Galaxy rebound off the opposite ropes and nail stereo suicide dives that wipe out both men! Mitchell is back inside the ring, dragging the body of Brett Stokes with him. He sets up The Breakdown, but Stokes somehow ducks under the winding blow and rolls Cameron into a schoolboy, getting a sudden pinfall!

Cameron Mitchell is eliminated first.

Mitchell angrily pounds the mat, upset that he got pinned so quickly. TJ Williams gets back inside the ring, leaving the aliens and AJ Cross behind, to attack Brett Stokes. He nails Brett with a few punches to the head and whips him into the ropes, setting up a back bodydrop. Cross telegraphs and kicks him in the head before taking his head off with a spin kick. Brett runs to the ropes and springs off – Lionsault! One, two, NO! Williams kicks out. Cosmos, Galaxy, and Cross have made it back to their corners, and Stokes tags in Cosmos, who eagerly goes to the top rope… E.T.! Cosmos nails the move on Williams… but TJ kicks out! Cosmos lifts Teej, trying to follow up, but Williams catches him off guard with a big uppercut. Bottom of the Barrel! Williams makes the cover now, but Galaxy is there to break it up. TJ doesn’t have any real friends in the match, but Galaxy and Cosmos share some special alien bond. They double-team Williams, nailing a double snap suplex before delivering stereo standing moonsaults. Cosmos leaves the ring, letting Galaxy pick up the pieces of TJ Williams… He attempts the Interglobular Driver, but TJ rolls forward into a victory roll for two. TJ gets to his feet and attempts a clothesline, but Galaxy ducks and boots him in the stomach. He grabs Teej into a three-quarter facelock, runs at the turnbuckles, and flips off – Shiranui! One, two, three!

TJ Williams is eliminated second.

Brett Stokes comes into the ring and connects with a dropkick to the back of Galaxy’s head, sending him into the mat. He drops an elbow for good measure and then lifts Galaxy and whips him into the turnbuckles. He charges with a leg lariat that knocks Matt silly. Stokes hoists Galaxy to the top rope, feeding off his adrenaline rush, and climbs up… He tries a super frankensteiner, but Galaxy hangs onto the ropes, and Stokes flips backward and crashes face-first on the mat. Galaxy stands now… double stomp to Stokes’ back! Galaxy rolls him over, but Brett grabs the rope at two. Matt lifts Brett and nails a few punches. Stokes reverses an Irish whip, and Galaxy hooks the ropes. Stokes runs at him and gets back bodydropped, but lands gracefully on the apron. Galaxy attempts a right hand, but Stokes blocks it and delivers a cutter over the top rope. Galaxy slowly gets to his feet, facing the opposite direction, as Stokes springboards off the top rope – The Hidden Vibe! He cracks Galaxy in the back of the head with the heel kick and quickly rolls him into a cover, but Chris Cosmos is there to break the pin up in time.

Chris lifts Stokes and fires a few forearms into his jaw. He runs to the ropes and gets caught with a beautiful dropkick from Stokes on his return. Brett takes a moment to catch his breath, but Galaxy grabs him and whips him into the corner. Matt nails a dropkick on Stokes in the corner and climbs, standing above him. Now it’s time for the educational portion of tonight’s program – count along with the babyface! One, two, three, four, five… Oh, it gets broken up by Cross, who German Suplexes Galaxy off the middle rope! Matt grabs the back of his head as Cross waits on him to stand, hoping to give him the Cross Cutter… Cosmos is on the apron now, springs off, and hopes to catch AJ with a clothesline, but Cross sees him and dropkicks him in midair! Cosmos crashes to the mat, and AJ gets attacked from behind by Brett Stokes. Brett tries to get AJ Cross “Stoked”, but he’s a bit too big. Cross blocks it and nails the Cross Cutter! He rolls Brett over and makes the cover, but Galaxy breaks it up! What a stupid move!

Galaxy just cost himself from immediately advancing a level and getting himself in the final two. Matt lifts Cross and whips him into the corner. He tries to attack, but AJ nails a big kick to the jaw and clotheslines Matt into the… mat. Cosmos grabs Stokes and tries to whip him into Cross, but Brett reverses and sends him into a superkick from AJ! Cosmos goes down to the mat, and AJ lifts him to his feet, trying the Cross Cutter. Cosmos has enough wherewithal to block it, but not even Martians have eyes in the back of their head! Stokes grabs him from behind, and let’s just say that Chris Cosmos gets STOKED~! Brett holds the legs and eliminates Cosmos tonight…

Chris Cosmos is eliminated third.

Stokes returns to his feet in time to feel the brunt of a leaping kick to the jaw by Galaxy. Stokes tries to find refuge in the corner, but Galaxy runs across the ring… STELLAR SPLASH! Galaxy has Stokes reeling, but Cross isn’t about to let him get away with it that easily. AJ tries another German Suplex, but a back elbow by Galaxy and a quick leg trip cures that problem. Galaxy nails a standing shooting star press on Cross, but before he can get the three, Stokes kicks him in the face. Brett attempts to get Galaxy STOKED~!, but he rolls through and grabs Stokes around his legs, pulling him into the Interglobular Driver! He rolls Brett over and picks up the three count…

Brett Stokes is eliminated fourth.

We’re down to the final two entrants now – AJ Cross and Matt Galaxy. Cross and Galaxy lock up, with AJ pulling him into a side headlock. Galaxy drives a few forearms into his side and shoves him into the ropes. Cross returns and leaps over a downed Galaxy, but instead of rebounding off the opposite set of ropes like Galaxy expected him to, he slaps Matt in the back and applies a rear chinlock while in a camel clutch position. Galaxy fights out of it and quickly crawls backwards, grabbing Cross around his legs and tripping him to the mat. He attempts the Interglobular Driver, but Cross crawls to the ropes and grabs them, forcing Galaxy off. The two men return to the center of the ring, and Galaxy connects with a spinning back kick to the stomach. Matt tries a huracarrana, but Cross counters into an alley-oop, dropping Galaxy face-first on the mat. He pulls Matt to his feet and connects with a bridging Tiger Suplex for two.

AJ yells at Matt to get to his feet, but Galaxy goes to the corner, resting. Cross charges and nails a boot to the face. Galaxy slumps down in the lower turnbuckles as Cross walks across the ring. He points to Galaxy and tries the bronco buster, but Matt moves out of the way. Cross gets crotched, and Galaxy pulls him out of the corner, dragging him so he’s lying in front of the corner. Matt climbs to the top rope and sets up what appears to be a shooting star press. Cross gets his knees up in the nick of time, driving them into Matt’s midsection. He stumbles a bit, and Cross kips up and grabs him… Cross Cutter! AJ hooks both legs to pick up the big win.

Winner: AJ Cross via Pinfall at 18:44

Cross gets his hand raised and for once in his life finally gets a big win that he can probably capitalize from.

Match two:
Victor Scott versus Dun
Exhibition: Singles
Written by TD

It’s time for Victor Scott and Dun to settle their beef, as they circle around the ring and the bell sounds. The match starts off with a slow pace as the two lock up and Scott goes behind to apply a wristlock, but it doesn’t last long as Dun sends him over the shoulder with a snapmare. Dun applies a quick sleeper, for approximately fifteen seconds until Scott works his way to his feet and sends numerous elbows to the gut of Dun before breaking out of the hold. Scott takes off into the ropes, Dun misses a clothesline, Scott stops in his tracks and drops Dun with a quick reverse DDT. Scott goes for the cover but Dun easily kicks out after two, Scott quickly gets to his feet and begins stomping away at Dun’s chest until the ref forces Scott away. Scott pulls Dun up to his feet, but quickly brings him back down with a snap suplex and floats over, going for the cover and only getting a two again. Scott begins to punch away at the forehead of Dun, until once again the ref forces Scott off, Dun stumbles to his feet, Scott charges but Dun catches him with a desperation over-the-head belly-to-belly suplex! Both men work their way to their feet and begin to exchange fists back and forth until Dun gets the upper hand, he has Scott reeling and hits him with a stiff headbutt that sends him to the mat.

Dun starts to kick the side of Scott, yelling at him until the ref breaks it up, that seems to be a habit in this match. Scott gets to his feet and charges Dun, landing a clothesline and sending Dun into the corner of the ring. Scott begins to unleash a barrage of lefts and rights, he pulls Dun off of his feet, walking for a few moments out of the corner before dropping him with a backbreaker. Scott goes for a pin, not bothering to hook the leg but only gets the two. Scott begins to choke Dun, the ref begins to count to five but Scott lets go at four, the ref begins to lecture Scott but he just shakes it off. Dun slowly gets to his feet and Scott pushes his way past the ref, but Dun comes out of nowhere with a quick spinebuster! One, two, kickout! Dun seems frustrated but knows not to waste any time as he quickly pulls Scott to the feet, grabbing him, looking for possibly an STO, no, it’s the Social Collapse! Dun goes for the quick cover, but once again Scott kicks out after two. Dun backs up for a few moments, seemingly measuring Scott up and as quickly as he gets to his feet, he is sent right back down with a sickening yakuza kick. Dun goes for the cover hooking the leg, one, two, thr- kickout! Dun is noticeably frustrated now and rightfully so, nothing he can seem to do will put Scott away. Dun pulls Scott up and hits him with a knee to the gut, Dun grabs the head of Scott, looking for a DDT, but Scott uses his strength to flip Dun over his head with a bridging northern lights suplex! One, two, Dun barely kicks out in time! Scott almost steals the win as both men quickly get to their feet, Dun charges Scott, going for a lariat, but Scott has the same idea and both men crash to the mat! Scott slowly floats over on top of Dun, grabbing his leg and applies a half boston crab, Dun is managing to crawl to the ropes and after about twenty seconds, he reaches the ropes, Scott keeps the hold on for the additional five seconds before letting go.

Scott motions to the crowd that it’s over as he pulls Dun to his feet and looks to be setting Dun up for the Victimizer, but not this time Dun says! He lands a modified back body drop and manages to bridge it into a pin, one, two, kickout! Both men get to their feet but Scott rakes the eyes of Dun, Dun holds his face, spinning around and turning his back to Scott, as Scott uses this time to charge in with a running bulldog! Scott hooks the leg quickly but only gets a two count, Scott seems angry as he uses his foot to choke Dun for an extra four seconds before getting disqualified. Scott pulls Dun to his feet and hooks him into a suplex position, he pulls Dun up but halfway up, Dun manages to use his weight to go back down to his feet and hits a quick suplex of his own! Both men lay on the mat for a few moments until Dun begins to stir, he gets up and heads toward the ropes. He seems to be sizing Scott up for something, Scott gets up and Dun charges, spear! NO! Scott sidesteps and Dun spears the ref! Dun looks down at the fallen referee with a look of dismay on his face, which is quickly replaced by a look of pain as Scott hits a devastating low blow! Dun holds his crotch as Scott spins him around and motions for the end, he tucks Dun in between his legs and lifts him up… VICTIMIZER! Scott covers Dun for what could easily be probably a ten count at least, however the referee is out and Scott goes over in an attempt to revive the referee. The referee begins to stir as Scott slaps his face a couple times in an attempt to wake him up. Little does Scott know that a groggy Dun has worked his way to his feet, the referee seems to be working out of the daze and Scott turns right into the Progressor! Bah! That’s what happens when you turn your back on your opponent Scott, Dun goes for the cover as the still dazed referee crawls over to the two men.. ONE.. TWO.. THR-KICKOUT!

Dun can’t believe that Scott kicked out and begins debating with the referee that it should have actually been a three count, of course, the wrestler’s never actually win these arguments but there’s always hope. Anyhow, of course since Dun is wasting time, Scott is up by now and quickly rolls up Dun into a school boy, placing his feet on the middle ropes for leverage. One.. Two.. Thr-, the referee stops the count as he sees Scott’s legs on the middle rope, not like this Scott, sorry. Scott begins to argue with the ref now, when will these guys learn, anyhow Scott turns around and Dun is back to his feet, the two begin to exchange fists until Scott gets the upperhand, he grabs Dun and looks to attempt a gutwrench suplex, but Dun starts jamming elbows into the side of Scott. Dun hits his own gutwrench suplex and does not even both with the cover this time. He quickly pulls up a groggy Scott, not wasting any more time and drops him with.. AFFIRMATIVE ACTION!! For the second event in a row, Dun drops Scott with his finisher, Dun hooks the leg and its pretty much academic from here… ONE… TWO… THREE. Dun picks up the victory and overcoming several dirty tactics by Scott.

Winner: Dun via Pinfall at 15:28

Dun gets to his feet, embracing the cheers from the fans as he raises his hands into the air. The referee raises his hand now, and Dun really celebrates with the crowd, mouthing the words “thank you” several times. Victor Scott slowly gets to his feet, seeing Dun enjoying himself, and quickly kicks him between the legs! The crowd boos as Scott spins Dun around and lifts him into… THE VICTIMIZER! Cradle Piledriver! Dun’s head gets driven into the mat! The fans boo Scott, and he returns to his feet with a crazed look in his eyes. He rolls out of the ring as the referee pleads with him. Several members of security come down, but Scott has his hands on a chair and waves it at them, yelling at them to back off. Scott slides inside the ring with the chair and stands above the downed Dun… HUGE chair shot to the head! The fans continue to boo, and some members of the audience throw garbage at Scott. He sneers and raises the chair again, preparing to hit Dun one more time… Wait, it’s James Simpson!

James Simpson:
HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!

The boss of PWW has made his way onstage and has locked eyes with Victor Scott.

James Simpson:
If you want to have a future in PWW – any chance at all – you better drop that damn chair, take your loss, and get out of the ring now…

Scott arrogantly smirks and nods, dropping the chair in the middle of the ring. Simpson seems pleased… but then Victor grabs Dun and pulls him to his feet! He lifts him into the air – VICTIMIZER ON THE CHAIR!!!

James Simpson:
SECURITY! GET THAT MAN OUT OF MY GODDAMN RING!

The crowd boos as Scott is “escorted” out of the ring by half a dozen security guards, who try to get him backstage as quickly as possible. EMTs come out to attend to Dun, who seems to be unconscious after the attacks…

Scott The Scoop:
What a sickening display of cowardice by Victor Scott. I can’t believe the nerve of that man…

Richard Avalio:
Losing matches does different things to different people, Scotty. Victor Scott was trying to avenge a loss on the big pay-per-view tonight by attacking Dun.

Scott The Scoop:
Surely, you don’t… condone this man’s actions, do you?

Richard Avalio:
…You’ve gotta’ do what you gotta do, Scott. Victor Scott wants to make a name for himself in the wrestling world. People are going to remember Victor Scott standing tall over Dun, not Dun’s victory…

Scott The Scoop:
…Ugh… You two are appalling.

Ladies and gentlemen… Up next is the first-ever Casket Match in Pro Wrestling Warriors. But first, let’s look back at the history behind this meeting.

A brief video detailing Michael Simons’ great displeasure with “Entertainment Establishment” is shown, along with the frustrations felt by James Simpson. The hardcore match between Simons and Sinister in which Michael outsmarted Seth by destroying Roscoe is a focal point of the video.

Match three:
Seth Sinister versus Michael Simons
Exhibition: Casket

Before the bell rings to begin the match, several ring workers bring out the massive casket in which one of these two men will be put to rest. The wooden casket, adorned with an olden style decoration, is probably big enough to fit even Kaimutsu in it. The ring crew place the casket, which is fortunately on wheels to aid with its moving, in front of the side of the ring nearest the entryway. They then leave the area before the entrance of Seth Sinister…

Sinister seems pretty confident going into the match, but the crowd is obviously against him as some jeering and taunting is seen. A small “Eeeemmmoooo” chant begins, but Seth ignores that for the most part. Simons makes his entrance next, but his music plays and there’s no sign of him. Sinister waits… but Simons slides inside the ring. Seth turns around, sensing his presence, but it’s too late, as Michael takes him down with a clothesline and this one gets started in a hurry. Simons fires some stomps to Sinister, who tries to get back to his feet. He’s in the ropes as Simons fires a few more kicks and eventually dumps Sinister over the top rope and to the outside floor. The referee watches, knowing he is basically just there for show and has pretty much no obligation other than to declare a winner in this contest. There are no rules and no restrictions, and that’s just the way these two men want to decide it – in a bloody battle. Simons goes outside and reaches under the ring, grabbing a steel chair, but Sinister clips one of his legs with a chop block to prevent him from using it. Seth grabs the chair and takes a shot at Simons’ leg, driving the steel into his knee. Simons writhes in pain, and Seth stands over him, trying to deliver some shots with the end of the chair. Simons instead catches Seth with a kick to the ass, causing him to fall forward. Michael grabs Seth and the two roll on the outside floor, exchanging punches and forearms. Simons eventually applies a jujigatame cross armbar, but Seth works his way back to a standing base, locks his hands, and lifts Michael, driving him onto the hard ringside floor. Simons’ head gets dropped a few times, and he eventually lets go, but not before inflicting some pain on his opponent.

Sinister reaches under the ring, grabbing… a bag of tacks. Oh geez… Seth places the bag inside the ring for later use. He reaches under the ring again, trying to find some more items, but as he grabs a granite tombstone, and I mean REAL granite, Simons grabs him from behind and German Suplexes him on the back of his head. The tombstone falls to the floor, making a loud sound. Simons grabs it and places the heavy object inside the ring. The cameraman gets a close-up view of the tombstone, which reads “RIP HCW”. Oh, that’s good for laughs… Simons diverts his attention to under the ring this time, making the same mistake Sinister does by allowing him to recover. Michael pulls out a shovel, which has sort of become a trademark of his during his mission to kill Entertainment Establishment. He drives the end of the shovel into Sinister’s midsection and then cracks the handle across his back. Sinister drops to a knee, holding his back in pain, and Simons drops the shovel, firing a big kick to the side of Seth’s face. He grabs Sinister into a back suplex position but instead lifts him into the air and crotches him on the steel barrier. The crowd cheers as Simons fires overhead shots to the skull. Seth fights back by raking Simons’ eyes. He goes inside the crowd, where a few loyal Sinister fans pat him on the back. He waits on Simons to return and… springs… as much as possible off the barricade and delivers a huge clothesline that takes both men down.

Sinister reaches inside the ring and grabs the granite tombstone. The heavy object proves hard to carry, but Sinister takes a wild swing, hoping to nail Simons. Michael ducks and tries a punch, but Seth uses the tombstone to block him, and when fist meets granite, I don’t think I have to tell you who wins. Simons clutches his hand in great pain as Seth drives the tombstone into his skull with a wicked shot. He drops the tombstone again and this time lifts Simons into the air, back suplexing him right onto it! The crowd cheers the action as Sinister cackles. He rolls inside the ring and grabs hold of a steel chair. Seth waits on Simons to get to his feet… and bashes the chair into his skull! Most of the crowd boos now, not wanting to see Simons taken down this way. Seth uses the end of the chair to choke Simons’, weakening him even further. He eventually drops the chair and taunts a bit, making a few death-related gestures. He grabs Simons and tries to whip him into the barrier, but Michael reverses, causing Seth to taste the steel. Simons charges, but he gets flapjacked onto the barricade, his midsection colliding with unforgiving metal.

Seth dumps Simons into the crowd and follows him as the crowd starts going nuts. Simons manages to grab a drink from one of the fans and smacks the cup off Sinister’s head. He grabs another drink – a dark beer – and takes a sip himself before spitting the alcohol into Seth’s eyes. Sinister grabs his eyes in pain, but Simons doesn’t give him time to recover. He t-bone suplexes Seth onto the concrete! The crowd goes nuts and a “Michael Simons!” (clap, clap, clap-clap-clap) chant begins. Simons grabs Sinister and smacks his head off one of many chairs in the crowd. He grabs a chair and has a fan hold it for him as he takes Seth’s head and smacks it off the steel. The fan cheers and loves being a part of the action. Simons pulls Sinister up by his hair and Irish whips him into a guardrail, sending him up and over and into the empty area near the entryway. A large storage unit, most likely containing some extra technical supplies, is used as a weapon, as Simons bounces Seth’s head off the top. Michael grabs Sinister and tries to suplex him onto the concrete, but Seth fires back with some knees to the inside and delivers a suplex of his own! Both men lie on the concrete, exhausted, but Seth digs down deep as he knows he has to get back up if he wants to win. Seth opens the storage container, reaching inside and grabbing an ample amount of extension cord. He wraps it around Simons’ throat and starts choking him with it. Simons gasps for breath as Seth chokes the life out of him.

Michael manages to fire upward with a few shots to the skull, stunning Sinister. He then dumps Sinister inside one of the storage containers and slams the lid down hard on his head. Simons has a moment to rest… But what’s this?! It’s Lil Finga! Lil Finga, one of the men Simpson hired to take out Sinister, and he has a nail gun. He charges Simons, but instead eats concrete via drop toehold. Simons grabs the nail gun and fires a nail right into the thigh of Lil Finga! The jobber screams in pain as Simons pistol whips him with the nail gun, repeatedly smacking his face with it. Sinister gets out of the storage unit and tries to wrap the cord around Simons’ neck again, but instead gets caught on the wrong end of a nail gun to the face! Simons drops the gun and bludgeons Seth’s head with sharp jabs. He hip tosses Seth back onto the concrete and grabs the nail gun again, this time holding Seth in a side headlock. He drags him back around the guardrails, over to the entryway, and starts returning to the ring, where the casket is. Simons gets shoved into the casket by Sinister in a last ditch effort to mount some offense. He grabs the nail gun from Simons and hits him in the head with it, sending Michael onto the floor. Sinister drops the gun and returns to the other side of the ring, where he grabs the tacks from earlier. Sinister goes back to Simons, waiting on him to get to his feet, and smacks him in the head with a bagful of close to 5,000 thumbtacks.

Sinister drops the bag and opens the casket. He tries placing Simons inside of it, but Michael battles back with some elbows to the stomach. The referee holds the lid open now as Simons places Seth over it and grabs the lid, slamming it onto Sinister’s back! He does it a few more times for good measure and then grabs Sinister out of the casket, delivering a back suplex onto the hard floor. Simons grabs the bag of tacks, holding it up for the fans to see, and dumps the contents inside the casket! The crowd cheers as Simons empties the entire bag inside the casket, but this allows Sinister to return to his feet. He grabs a steel chair and smacks it against the back of Simons. He throws him inside the casket, as the thousands of tacks prick him and cause Michael to bleed. Sinister tries to bring the lid down, but Simons blocks it and throws a handful of tacks into the face of Seth Sinister, causing him to back off. Simons jumps out of the casket and charges Seth, only to get caught with a drop toehold. Seth grabs Simons and wraps him into an STF! The fans boo as Sinister starts… biting Michael. How grotesque.

Seth eventually gets to his feet again and pulls Simons up as well. He grabs Michael, attempting to deliver the Sinister DDT on the outside, but Simons fights back with some uppercuts to the stomach and whips his adversary into the guardrail. Simons reaches under the ring and pulls out a wooden table, but before he can set it up, Seth is back on the attack, windmilling Simons with punches to the back. Simons fights back with a few kicks to the thighs and knees before grabbing the table and setting it up next to the casket. He grabs Sinister and places him on the table while delivering some shots to the head. Sinister manages to grab one of Simons’ hands and starts biting it! What a sicko! He gets off the table and delivers a few chops to the chest of Simons before driving him into the floor with an impactful DDT. Seth takes a breather while grabbing the granite tombstone again. He stands over Simons, waiting to drop it, but Michael somehow sweeps Seth’s legs with a quick kick, sending him to the floor and the granite tombstone tumbling on top of him!

Simons slowly pulls himself up to his feet as the crowd rallies behind him. He goes to Seth and stomps him a few times in the forehead. Simons lifts Sinister to his feet but gets his eyes raked. Seth grabs Simons and lifts him into the air with a front suplex, draping him on the guardrail. He grabs Simons around the neck… and delivers the Seth Valley Driver! Sinister takes a bit of time to recover as he readies the casket. Simons crawls to the casket, and Sinister prepares to lariat him into it. He charges… but Simons counters and back bodydrops his opponent into the tack-filled casket! Sinister screams in pain as Simons tries shutting the lid. Seth blocks it this time and manages to crawl out of the casket somewhat. Simons slams the lid on the small of his back, and Sinister flips forward, falling to the floor and saving himself for now. Simons grabs Sinister and whips him into the casket. Seth falls down again, and Simons climbs onto the apron. Sinister manages to grab hold of a steel chair and tosses it, smacking Simons in the head. Simons turns, grabbing hold of the top rope to prevent himself from falling into the casket. Sinister climbs onto the apron now and grabs Simons from behind, choking him. He jumps on his back with a sleeper, trying to choke Simons out… Michael releases the top rope and fires some hard back elbows to the nose… but falls backwards! Both men taste the tacks! The crowd goes wild as the two men lie in the casket for a moment. The referee’s eyes bulge, and after nearly a minute of eagerly waiting… Michael Simons gets out of the casket! Covered in tacks, the Man of Steel slams the casket lid shut and grabs hold of the lock and chain from the referee. He locks the casket shut, winning the match…

Winner: Michael Simons via Casket Enclosure at 19:44

Simons raises his arms in celebration after the match, staring at the casket as he picks up the nail gun at ringside. Some noise can be heard from inside the casket, and Simons climbs on top of it, standing on the casket. He readies the gun… and drives nails into the coffin! What a clichéd expression of hatred! The fans cheer after Simons has driven a couple dozen nails into the casket. He stands tall as his music plays throughout the arena…

Match four:
Richard Storrs versus Roderick Brookes
Exhibition: Singles

Brookes and Storrs circle the ring during the opening seconds of the match. They lock it up, and Roderick quickly and forcibly sends Storrs into the corner. He slowly backs away as the ref asks for a clean break, but Brookes slaps the taste out of Richard’s mouth, getting a reaction from the fans. Storrs holds his mouth for a second and his face grows red with anger and embarrassment. They move back to the middle of the ring where the two combatants once again lock up. And just like last time, Brookes forces Storrs into the corner. He goes for a slap again, but this time Richard blocks it and pokes Brookes in the eye. He applies a side headlock, but Roderick is mad now, and he shoves Storrs into the ropes. Richard rebounds and collides with Brookes’ shoulder. He bounces back a few steps, but gets in Brookes’ face and points to the ropes, yelling at him to go there and give him a shoulderblock. Roderick arrogantly chuckles and complies, but on his return, he gets dropped to the mat with a drop toehold from Storrs, who floats into a side headlock. Richard gets lifted to his feet and Brookes lifts him into the air before planting him with a back suplex. He rubs his head a bit before placing some boots in the midsection of Storrs, who rolls outside the ring for a time out.

Richard gets back inside slowly, and the two men lock up again, but this time Storrs goes right back to the headlock. Roderick clasps his hands together and attempts a backdrop driver, but Storrs breaks it by wedging his hand between the hold. He quickly wrenches Roderick’s arm and applies the armwringer. Brookes reaches out and claws Storrs in the eye, returning the favor from earlier. Storrs staggers into the ropes and Roderick charges, but Storrs side steps, and Brookes stops himself at the ropes. Storrs moves swiftly to the other side of the ring, rubbing his eye, and the two men go back to the lock up. This time it’s Roderick with a side headlock on Storrs, but Richard fires a few forearms into his side and manages to shove the hefty man into the ropes. Brookes returns, looking for a big kick, but Storrs ducks under and grabs Brookes with a schoolboy for a quick two count. Roderick kicks out and gets back to his feet, instantly chopping Storrs in the chest. Richard’s face lights up with an expression of sheer pain, and Brookes proceeds to nail a few jabs with his left hand, connecting with Richard’s jaw. Storrs falls back into the corner, and Roderick forces him into the lower turnbuckle with stomps.

Brookes sets up the face wash, scraping his boot against Storrs’ face, but Richard grabs Brookes’ foot and quickly returns to his feet. Roderick swings a few times, but he can’t land any shots, and Richard quickly snaps off a dragon screw leg whip that sends Brookes into the mat. Storrs grabs Brookes by his leg and starts rapidly stomping the knee joint, but Roderick manages to grab hold of the ropes and use his good leg to kick Storrs back. The ref intervenes and forces Storrs off and Brookes back to his feet. Richard charges Brookes, but he gets caught with a vicious clothesline. Roderick sneers and pulls Richard to his feet, hoisting him to his shoulder. He goes to one of the corners and snake eyes him on top of the turnbuckle pad. Storrs staggers back, getting caught with an overhead release German Suplex. Richard rolls out of the ring, having enough of Brookes for the moment. Roderick spots Storrs getting up on the outside and readies himself for a dive. The fans cheer as he bounces off the opposite ropes, gaining steam, and charges… only to stop and give the crowd the “up yours” taunt before jumping through the ropes and viciously Irish whipping Storrs into the steel barricade. The crowd boos Brookes as he flips them off and fires a few kicks to the midsection of Richard Storrs.

Brookes tells a bunch of the people in the first row to move, and they quickly oblige. He reaches over the guardrail and grabs a steel chair, placing it in the corner where the two crowd protectors meet. He grabs Storrs and places him in the chair before choking him with his foot. Storrs walks to the other side of the ringside area, preparing to obliterate Storrs. He charges and delivers the Olé kick with great precision, driving his boot into the skull of Storrs, kicking his face into the steel barrier! The fans groan at the sight, and Brookes laughs maniacally, taunting some of the fans in the front row. The camera gets a good shot of Storrs, who has been busted open by the shot, as a small laceration can be seen on his head. Brookes grabs him around the head and fires a few shots to the skull, opening the wound further. The referee, annoyed by this point, yells at Brookes to get Storrs and himself back in the ring. Brookes flips the ref off and grabs Storrs. He motions for the crowd to move again, doing a “part the sea” gesture. He grabs Storrs and prepares to throw him into the crowd… but then turns at the last second and rolls him inside the ring, before once again telling the crowd where they can stick it. The crowd boos Roderick as he gets back inside the ring…

Storrs slowly rises to his feet and catches Brookes off guard with a huge forearm to the head! Brookes staggers into the ropes, but he flips back and delivers the pendulum lariat! Storrs’ head nearly gets taken off, and Brookes slowly makes the cover… one, two, no! Storrs kicks out. Brookes lifts Richard and tosses him into the corner, where he fires repeated blows to the midsection and head until the referee forces him to take the action back to the middle of the ring. Brookes does just that with a snap suplex that drives Richard into the mat once again. He floats over… sort of… for another cover, but only gets two. Brookes fires a few closed fists to the skull, for which the referee warns him, but he doesn’t pay much attention to the zebra at this point. Roderick tries lifting Storrs again, but Richard fires back with closed fists of his own, before delivering a series of about four European Uppercuts. He actually has the crowd on his side at this point, before yelling at them to shut up and charging Brookes with a high knee that sends the Irish Assassin reeling into the corner. Storrs walks to the opposite corner and lifts his arm, claiming he’s gonna lariat Brookes to hell. He charges, but Roderick counters with a vicious STO that plants Richard on the back of his head!

Roderick motions that it’s over and turns Storrs around. He looms over him as he places Richard’s arms over his massive thighs and locks on the camel clutch. Blood oozes out of the wound on Storrs’ forehead as Brookes applies more pressure, trying to force a submission or pass out. Storrs fights, trying to reach the ropes, but Brookes grows tired of the hold before Storrs can escape. He jumps into the air and drives all his weight down on the back of Richard Storrs, possibly weakening him for a move later. Brookes watches as Storrs tries to crawl to the ropes, but he catches him with a big kick to the side of the head that sends the richest guy in wrestling back down to the mat. Brookes places his foot on the back of his head and simply walks on him. Roderick laughs and goes to the legs of Storrs, wrapping them around his own. He slaps Richard’s shoulders and grabs his arms, pulling back. Roderick gets a sadistic grin on his face as he drives Storrs’ face into the mat with a nasty curb stomp. The crowd is getting a bit sick of Brookes’ malice by now, as some of the more squeamish members of the audience beg him to stomp. Blood continues to pour out of Storrs’ head, painting the canvas red.

Brookes makes the cover again, but this time he’s too near the ropes, and Storrs gets a foot on the lower rope to force a break at two. Brookes grins, saying “It’s your funeral.” He pulls Storrs back to his feet, but once again gets caught off guard as Storrs ducks a clothesline attempt and drives forearm after forearm into the jaw of Roderick Brookes. The crowd once again cheers him, and this time he decides not to bother yelling at them to be quiet. Storrs catches Brookes with a big dropkick that sends him into the ropes. Roderick tries the pendulum lariat, but Storrs ducks under this time and catches Brookes with a lung blower! He makes the cover, but Brookes easily kicks out. Storrs runs to the ropes and returns with a flipping senton into the midsection of Brookes. He gets up, a bit dazedly, and rolls Brookes into a jackknife pin for a two count. Storrs runs to the ropes this time and springs off the middle rope, looking for a Lionsault, but Roderick gets his knees up, driving them into the midsection of Richard Storrs, stopping all his momentum. Richard rolls on the mat, clutching his stomach, as Brookes slowly gets back to his feet with aid from the ropes. He sees Storrs lying in the lower turnbuckle and charges with a huge kick to the skull, nearly beheading him.

Storrs is bleeding profusely now, and copious amounts of blood drip on the mat. Brookes pulls Storrs in and sets up a piledriver, but Richard hooks one of the legs of Brookes, trying to block it. Brookes reaches down, and Storrs reacts quickly, uppercutting Roderick between the legs. The ref gets ready to call for the bell, but Storrs begs him off, quickly handing him a 500 dollar bill. The ref shifts his eyes and places the bill in his pocket as the crowd laughs. Storrs fires a few kicks to the stomach of Brookes and runs to the ropes. He returns, looking for a lariat, but Roderick grabs his arm and counters into the cobra clutch! He flings Storrs around for a moment before delivering the Lock N Load! He keeps the cobra clutch on and pulls Storrs back to a vertical position… and then drives him into the mat with a release cobra clutch suplex! Storrs falls to the mat, seemingly unconscious, as Brookes takes a breather. He rolls Storrs over for the cover, but Richard somehow rolls Brookes into an inside cradle out of nowhere! He nearly gets the three, but the Irish Assassin kicks out in the nick of time.

Roderick gets to his feet, none to pleased about the resiliency of his opponent, and viciously soccer ball kicks him in the forehead. Storrs falls to the mat, again prone, and Brookes nails a big elbow drop on the sternum. He pulls Storrs to his feet, grinning, and hoists him to his shoulder. Roderick gets in position… TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER! He makes a slow cutthroat motion before crossing Storrs’ arms and placing them on his chest in a symbol of death… one… two… thre-WHAT?! WHAAAAT?! Storrs kicks out! That lackadaisical cover may have cost Brookes the win! What kind of moron would pin somebody like that?! Brookes grabs Storrs and tries to apply a dragon sleeper, but Richard fires a few knees to the head of Roderick to fend him off in the meat time. He gets to his feet and charges Brookes with a yakuza kick! Where is Richard Storrs getting this from!? He fires more shots to the head of Roderick Brookes, who manages to pie face Storrs into the mat. Brookes stalks his prey… and delivers a few kicks to the stomach. He lifts Storrs and fires repeated knees to the skull before grabbing him into a butterfly lock and tossing him overhead with a double arm suplex. Brookes tries to make the cover, but Storrs rolls out of the ring, buying himself some time. The referee tries to hold Brookes back from following him, but Roderick shoves the ref aside and goes outside the ring. Storrs crawls on his hands and knees, leaving a trail of blood behind for Roderick to follow, which leads underneath the ring. Roderick crawls under the ring, looking for Storrs… but suddenly, a loud “GONG” noise is heard, as Brookes is rolled out from under the ring. Storrs crawls out, wielding a spare ring bell, but he quickly tosses it back under the ring, disposing of the evidence.

Richard grabs Brookes and rolls him inside the ring. He drags his own body inside for the cover, but Brookes kicks out before three. Richard says it’s time to end this and pulls Brookes to his feet. He attempts the Dollar Mark, but Brookes fires forearms to the back of the head, sending Storrs down to his knees and eventually onto the mat, clutching his skull in agony. Brookes lifts Storrs to his shoulders and sets up the Church Bombing, but Storrs slides out behind him and catches Brookes with a reverse DDT! He makes the cover, but Roderick again kicks out, much to Storrs’ chagrin. Richard drags the body of his adversary to the corner and climbs to the top rope, yelling “450” to the crowd. He gets to the top, but Brookes shoves the referee into the ropes, crotching Storrs. Roderick climbs to the top rope, setting up a superplex, but Storrs fires back with shots to the stomach and eventually fires a big forearm to the jaw that knocks Roderick off the top rope. Storrs now stands, ready to deliver the move, but a moment of hesitation due to blood loss costs him. Brookes returns to his feet and sweeps Storrs’ legs out from under him with an enzuigiri. He grabs Storrs off the ropes and hoists him to the shoulders… It’s the Wake The F*ck Up! No! Storrs delivers a crucifix driver and holds the position.. one… two… three! Storrs gets the pinfall!

Winner: Richard Storrs via Pinfall at 24:13

Brookes gets to his feet pretty quickly, or at least faster than Storrs, and viciously stomps the back of his head, showing no sportsmanship. Roderick grabs Storrs and whips him into the corner, driving a massive knee into the head. He grabs Storrs and delivers the Wake The F*ck Up, kneeing him so hard in the head that he probably doesn’t have a damn clue where he’s at right now. Brookes goes outside and angrily tosses a couple chairs into the ring… Oh, God, not this again. Brookes slides inside the ring and places one of the chairs underneath Storrs’ head. He grabs the other and prepares to deliver a tremendous shot, when suddenly, the lights flicker and go out! The crowd cheers, anticipating some huge moment. A red spotlight is on the rafters as a masked and cloaked figure lurks. He rappels from the ceiling, dropping in the ring, as both the crowd and Brookes are mesmerized. Brookes stares at the man, not sure if he should swing the chair or what. He eventually approaches him, but… gets taken down with an air taser! What the fuuuuuuuuuuuu*k?! The cloaked figure removes his hood, revealing long black hair. His face is concealed by a Hannibal Lecter mask. He soon removes that, revealing his identity as… Darius Falcon!

Falcon attaches Brookes to a special harness and pulls him back up toward the rafters. The crowd witnesses it all as Roderick and Darius get to the rafters. Falcon gets the help of some technicians to remove the harnesses, and he takes the lifeless Brookes away from the catwalk. Meanwhile, in the ring, Richard Storrs remains dazed as medical personnel go to check on his condition. He is seemingly fine, but will obviously need to be treated due to the blood loss during that hellacious battle…

Before the next match gets underway, Terry Martinez makes his way to the ring, strolling every so arrogantly. He has a specially designed headset on. Martinez enters the ring, telling the ring announcer to take a hike…

Terry Martinez:
Todd Duvet, you ignorant slut. I’m going to do the honor… I’m the only man who can PROPERLY introduce the next contestants.

Terry Martinez, the absolute best
Wrestling, Announcing, and bouncing your wife's breasts
I'm known first for my skill between the ropes, it's true.

Terry is now staring at a gentleman in the front row here at SCS.

Terry Martinez:

The crowd actually cheers Martinez’s dirty limerick. Gods of War kicks in…

Terry Martinez:
Making his way at this time, hailing from the legendary, MEAN STREETS of Columbus, Ohio, and tonight, for one night only, the best HARDCORE wrestler on the planet… Mister Daniel Shine!

Daniel makes his way into the ring, doing a knuckle bump with Martinez, before getting on the middle ropes to a chorus of boos. He hops down as Holy Wars begins to play…

Terry Martinez:
And now, walking bowlegged to the ring, he comes to us from Fire Island, hung like gerbil and half as ferocious. The man who has had more balls pounding his openings than a bowling tournament. "Brokeback" Bruce Bishop!

Bruce slides into the ring, and Martinez bails out before he could take a swing at him. The bell rings, and this one gets going…

Match five:
Daniel Shine versus Bruce Bishop
Exhibition: I Quit

Bishop and Shine begin to exchange punches, but Shine, realizing that Bruce is obviously the superior brawler, quickly shoots in for a double leg takedown and puts Bishop on the mat. He holds him down as the two men grapple a bit on the mat, with Dan showing his technical superiority. Shine manages to get on top of Bishop and drives a few forearms into his head. Bishop tries to get to his feet, but Shine quickly applies a guillotine choke. Bishop gets to his feet with Shine hanging onto his throat, and he charges, driving Dan into the corner turnbuckles. Shine releases the hold due to the collision, and Bishop lays into him with stiff shots to the midsection and chest. He whips Dan across the ring and charges at him again, nailing a huge clothesline. Dan is rocking, and Bruce clotheslines him up and over the top rope, sending him to the outside floor. Terry Martinez quickly joins his comrade, helping Dan to his feet and giving him some strategy while psyching him up. Shine returns to the ring and shoots in again, this time taking Bruce down to the mat with a single leg and applying a knee bar. Bishop gets to the ropes, forcing a break of the hold. Dan releases the stomps Bruce’s knee a few times before pulling him back toward the center of the ring. He applies a figure four as the fans begin to boo. “We want weapons!” chants echo throughout the Mellon Arena. Dan yells at them to shut up.

Bishop easily gets out of the figure four, using his long legs to escape the hold. Dan jumps on Bruce again, holding him down. The crowd begins to chant “Boring!” at Shine, who again tells them to be quiet. He fires a few more forearms to the head as Bishop seems pretty bored with this. Bruce throws Dan off and gets to his feet as Shine takes a few steps back, begging Bruce off for a moment. Bishop yells at Dan to give him a shot, and Dan does, charging for a big forearm. Bruce instead catches him with a forearm of his own and tosses Shine overhead with a two-handed choke suplex. Dan bounces off the mat and rolls to the outside, clutching his back. He yells “Screw this!” and heads to the back as the crowd jeers him some more with chants of “P*ssy!” Shine exits, leaving the ring, as Bruce sighs with his hands on his hips, disappointed. Terry goes to the backstage as well, pursuing Shine. After a moment passes with the referee wondering what’s going on, Dan and Martinez return, but they’re not alone… Shine is wheeling a shopping cart full of weapons to the ring! The crowd cheers as Shine sadistically grins. He pushes the cart into the apron and reaches inside, grabbing a steel chair. Dan slides into the ring and takes a swing at Big Bruce, missing him by a few inches. Dan quickly cracks the chair against Bishop’s knee and then hits him over the head with it, sending the brawler to the mat. The fans cheer Shine as he holds the chair in the air and screams “HOW’S THAT FOR HARDCORE?!”

Dan drops the chair and rolls out of the ring, lifting the apron and reaching underneath for a table. He manages to lift one and puts it on the apron, but Bruce baseball slide dropkicks the table into Shine, sending him into the steel guardrails. The crowd cheers as the action draws near, and Bruce sees Shine reeling. He runs to the opposite side of the ring and leaps over the top rope with a plancha, taking Dan out! The crowd is going crazy now as “HOLY SH*T!” chants reverberate in the building. Bishop lifts Dan and Irish whips him into the steel guardrail. He motions for the crowd to move and throws Dan over the top of the guardrail. The referee follows as Bruce fires a few punches and forearms to Dan, and the crowd excitedly cheers him on. Bruce tries to Irish whip Dan into a wall, but Shine somehow reverses, sending the big man into the hard barricade. Dan proceeds to stomp Bruce and then begins choking him with his foot. Bishop shoves Dan away, who grabs a nearby table and props it against the concrete wall. He grabs Bishop and fires a few shots to his head while leaning him against the table. Dan takes a few steps back and charges, looking to drive Bruce into the table, but Bishop moves. Dan saves himself from going through, but then takes a nasty throat thrust from Bishop that dazes him. Big Bruce takes some steps away now, breathing a bit… and then turns and Massacres Dan through the table, into the concrete wall! The crowd goes crazy!

A moment passes before Bishop grabs Dan and drags him back toward the ring, throwing him over the guardrails on the other side of the ring. Terry Martinez is seen, biting his fingernails in fear of Dan losing. Bruce rolls Dan inside the ring, and Martinez takes a cheap shot, clubbing Bruce in the back. Bishop remains practically unfazed and stares at Martinez with great contempt, who then scurries away like a girl. Bishop goes around the ring, grabbing some items inside the shopping cart. He tosses a trash can and lid inside the ring and then grabs an object inside the shopping cart… It’s a cheese grater! The fans go wild as Bruce holds it up, letting the crowd see what it is. He rolls inside the ring with the cheese grater, and Dan, who is crawling on his knees toward Martinez, has no idea what’s about to happen. Bruce walks up behind him and places the grater on his forehead before swiftly cutting into his flesh! Bruce laughs and licks the grater, as the crowd chants “F*cking awesome!”. Bishop chuckles and pulls Shine back up to his feet. Dan’s now bleeding from the forehead as expected after a move like that. Bishop repeatedly hits him in the forehead with the object and then tosses the grater aside to bite Dan in the forehead! “You sick f*ck!” chants ring throughout the arena, and Bishop feeds off them, stomping Dan’s head a few times. Martinez slides inside the ring and catches Bruce between the legs. Bishop falls to the mat, and Martinez… nails some weak ass stomps. The crowd boos Trademark as he rips off his shirt, revealing his bulging… stomach. He grabs a chair and places it in the middle of the ring. Martinez rolls out of the ring and grabs his headset from earlier.

Terry Martinez:
It looks like Trademark is setting up an INCREDIBLE MANEUVER! Is he going for that drop toehold on the steel chair? I can’t see how Bruce could POSSIBLY telegraph this.

Martinez, still wearing his headset with cord, returns to the ring. He grabs Bruce and whips him into the ropes, trying the drop toehold with the steel chair. Bruce easily sees it’s coming and side steps before grabbing the chair. Martinez gets to his feet and tries to beg Bruce off. Bishop holds the chair up high, but suddenly gets grabbed from behind as Dan sends Bruce overhead with a German Shineplex! Shine gets to his feet and motions for Terry to set the table up. Martinez rolls out of the ring and grabs the table, sliding it inside. He sets the table up, placing it in the middle of the ring. Dan lifts Bruce and sets up a German Shineplex through the table.

Terry Martinez:
It looks like Dan is about to put Butt Buddy away here!

Bruce fires some elbows back into the nose of Daniel Shine before wrapping a hand around his throat and lifting him into the air… CHOKESLAM THROUGH THE TABLE! The crowd EXPLODES with cheers, and Bruce stares at Martinez, who pisses his pants with fright. Bruce grabs Martinez and wraps the microphone cord around his throat.

Terry Martinez:
Eeckk… Trademark… can’t breathe… OOOH NO!

Bruce chokes the lift out of Martinez before throwing him back outside the ring. He goes over to Shine and grabs one of the shards of the table. Bishop drives the wooden fragment into Shine’s forehead, trying to cut him open even worse. Shine kicks Bruce away and rolls out of the ring, holding his bloody head. He looks at the blood on his hands and doesn’t seem to know how to react. It’s probably one of the few times in his career that he’s been busted open. Bruce rolls out of the ring, and Shine quickly pulls a kendo stick out of the shopping cart. He cracks Bishop in the side with it, causing the big man to wince with pain. Shine takes a baseball-esque swing at Bruce, nailing him in the head with the cane, causing him to fall to the floor. Dan drops the cane and rests while leaning on the apron. The fans seem behind both men in the match. Shine approaches Bruce, who is now also bleeding after the kendo stick shot. He lifts Bruce and nails a snap Shineplex on the outside before grabbing his own back. Shine goes over to the shopping cart and reaches inside, grabbing a 55 MPH speed limit sign. He motions for Bishop to stand and cracks the sign over his head. A fan is holding up a steel chair now and taps on the chair. Shine grabs Bruce and goes to smack his head off the chair, but Bishop grabs hold of the guardrail to block it and then sharply elbows Dan in the stomach. He grabs Shine and plants his face against the steel, causing Shine to fall back, holding his bloodied skull.

Bruce grabs the chair from the fan and tosses it inside the ring. Well, that guy’s without a seat for the rest of the night. Shine seems exhausted after all he’s gone through, and Bruce has found his second wind. Bishop grabs the shopping cart, filled with some remaining items, and throws it over the top rope, showing his incredible strength. He then rolls Dan inside the ring. Bruce grabs Shine and applies a camel clutch, trying to make him submit. Blood squirts from Shine’s forehead and gets on the mat, but this isn’t the first time the PWW canvas has been stained with crimson tonight. Bishop releases the hold after he realizes Shine isn’t going to give up. Bishop grabs the cart and pushes it into the corner. He reaches inside and grabs a bull rope. Dan clips Bishop’s knee as he was getting the rope to choke him, and Bruce crumbles, falling to the mat. Shine crawls toward the trashcan and grabs it now. Bruce gets to his feet and Shine demolishes the trashcan over his big, bald head. Bruce falls, and Shine drops the trashcan. He grabs Bishop’s leg and applies a half crab, trying to make Bruce tap. Bishop manages to kick Shine away and get back to his feet, hobbling a bit. Shine grabs Bruce from behind, trying another German Shineplex, but he’s too weak to do it. Dan fires some forearms to the back of Bruce’s head and connects with a Russian Leg Sweep. He goes back to the shopping cart, grabbing the last item inside, a “Best of Tai Otaku” DVD. Dan smacks Bruce in the forehead with the DVD case and then hurls it into the crowd. Nobody tries to catch it.

Shine grabs Bruce and tries to lock on a rear naked choke, but Bishop fights and gets to the ropes, despite bleeding. Shine seems at his wit’s end, but doesn’t lose focus. Martinez slides a cowbell in the ring while yelling, Needs more cowbell, Dan! Shine grabs it and starts ringing it, and the crowd laughs. He waits on Bruce to get up and tries to hit him, but misses. Bruce instead catches Shine with a vicious Half Nelson suplex, and both men lie on the mat, exhausted. The referee waits on either man to stand as these two warriors lie in their own blood, giving their all in this I Quit match. Bruce pulls himself to his feet and grabs the cowbell. He swings at Dan, but Shine ducks under and swiftly kicks Bishop in the testicles. Bruce doubles over and Shine plants him with a DDT. He dazedly gets to his feet, staggering after the blood loss. Martinez yells at Dan, and he goes over to his corner. Martinez whips out and olden style wooden milking stool. Dan sits on it as Martinez grabs a bottle of ice cold water and a towel. The crowd laughs at the spot as Martinez pours the water on Shine’s head and wipes the blood off his face. He then grabs a metal pail and tells Dan to spit in it. Shine says he’s okay, but Martinez insists. Shine complies by hocking a big loogie in the bucket, and Martinez grins.

Dan gets back out of the corner, doing some shadow boxing as Bruce gets to his feet. Dan stalks him and grabs him from behind… SHINEPLEX ON STEROIDS! The crowd erupts! Dan grabs Bruce and makes a cutthroat motion, signaling that he’s going to finish him off. He locks on the rear naked choke! Bruce is fading fast, but in a last ditch effort to escape the hold, he flails wildly, swinging back. He catches Dan in the eye with a wild shot, causing the Pro Wrestling Wizard to release the hold and grab his eye in pain. He pulls himself to the ropes, and Bruce gets to his feet, still dazed. He charges wildly and spears Dan through the ropes, sending him crashing to the outside floor. The crowd gasps as Shine lands hard, and Bruce falls to his knees, still trying to catch his breath after all the action. Martinez tries to help Shine again, but Dan seems out of it. Bishop rolls out of the ring, and Martinez wisely backs off. Bishop rolls Shine back inside and slowly walks over to the bull rope from earlier. He wraps it around Shine’s neck and yells at him to tap out. Shine refuses, not wanting to suffer the shame of losing an I Quit match to Bruce Bishop. Bruce steps over and applies a camel clutch-esque hold with the rope. He releases the rope and wraps it around Shine’s eyes and forehead now, trying to force him into submission. Dan yells “NO!” everytime the referee asks if he wants to give up. Bishop eventually releases the hold and watches as Shine dazedly crawls. He gets to the shopping cart and pulls himself up. Bruce crouches in the corner, waiting on Dan to get to his feet. Shine does and turns. Bishop charges like a torpedo and tries to Massacre Shine into the shopping cart, but Dan somehow leapfrogs over him, causing Bishop to spear the cart so hard he breaks the back off it and gets stuck inside!

Dan grabs the kendo stick from earlier and repeatedly canes Bishop in the back and head, over and over again, as he’s stuck in the cart. Bruce can’t defend himself, and the referee asks if he’s going to give it up, but Bruce yells NO!, and with all his might stands up, holding the cart. He charges Dan and connects with his head with one of the wheels, sending Dan to the mat. Bruce falls back and gets out of the cart. He rolls out of the ring, tired as hell. Martinez watches with great horror as Bruce reaches under the ring and decides it’s time to unleash his ultimate weapon. He pulls out… the barbwire sledgehammer! The crowd goes absolutely nuts, probably giving Big Bruce the biggest pop of the night as he rolls inside the ring and waits on Dan to get up. Bishop charges with the sledgehammer, but Dan ducks under and runs to the ropes… BUKKAKE KNEE KICK! OOZE TO THE FACE! OOZE TO THE F*CKIN’ FACE! Bishop falls to the mat, dropping his hammer, and Shine falls back as well. Martinez reaches inside the ring, grabbing the barbwire hammer. He tosses it toward Shine but accidentally catches him in the leg with it. Dan grabs his leg in agony and yells at Martinez. Terry apologizes as Shine grabs the hammer and holds it on the mat, using it to prop himself up. He motions with one hand, in very exhausted fashion, for Bruce to get to his feet. Bishop does, and Shine uses his own trademark object against him, nailing him in the head with the ultimate weapon of mass destruction.

Dan falls to the mat and grabs the hammer again, driving the barbwire into Bruce’s forehead. The ref asks if he wants to give it up, and Bruce yells No! NO! F*CK NO! Bishop grabs the hammer and rips it out of Shine’s hands. The crowd cheers as Bruce quickly gets back to his feet, feeding off his adrenaline, and takes a wild swing, catching Dan in the stomach with the hammer to double him over. He hits Shine in the back now, driving the barbwire against his flesh once again. Shine falls to his knees, and Bruce nails a final shot, driving the hammer into the top of his head. Dan falls to the canvas in unbelievable pain, and Martinez realizes he’s in jeopardy of losing the match. Bishop needs some time to rest before going outside and grabbing yet another table. Bishop slides it inside the ring and climbs in himself, but Martinez grabs one of his legs from behind, holding him there for a few seconds. Bishop kicks Martinez away and turns back to the table. He props it against the corner, setting it up to drive Dan through it. Shine miraculously gets back to his feet, but he gets taken down again via big boot from Big Bruce. Bishop runs to the ropes and returns with a huge leg drop on the throat. He rolls Dan over and applies a rear chinlock. Shine is pretty close to the ropes, so he wiggles a bit and grabs them to escape. Bishop was too tired to realize the ring positioning, but I have a feeling he wants to inflict more punishment anyway. Bruce drags Dan over to the table and leaves him there as he walks to the other side of the ring. Bruce waits on Shine to get up and charges, looking for another Massacre through the table, but Shine connects with a drop toehold that smacks Bruce’s face off the table. Bishop falls to the mat, and Shine takes the time to recover.

Dan grabs the table and pulls it out of the corner. He places it in the corner, setting it up so it’s on the mat now. He grabs Bishop and nails some overhead shots to the head. Dan rolls Bruce onto the table and climbs to the top rope. Bruce gets off the table and crotches Shine on the top rope. Bruce climbs to the top rope and sets up a superplex from the position, through a table. Shine blocks it as the crowd gets to their feet, cheering. Shine nails some shots to the head, but Bruce connects with a headbutt that rocks Dan. He grabs Shine… and places him on his shoulders! He’s going for the Super Endless Agony through a table! Shine fights out of it and slips off Bruce’s shoulders. He lands behind him and grabs Bruce off the top rope… and powerbombs him through the table! The crowd goes insane! Dan collapses in the ropes, breathing heavily and hardly able to move. Some moments pass before Shine moves the wreckage out of the way and climbs to the top rope. He leaps off with a diving headbutt, but Bruce rolls out of the way in the nick of time! Both men are down yet again, and this is a war of attrition if I have ever seen one. Blood stains the canvas, and emotions are running at perhaps their highest level ever in the career of these warriors.

Dan and Bruce get to their feet at about the same time and meet up in the middle of the ring. An exchange of forearms leaves both men dazed. Shine manages to fire back with some slaps to the face and attempts a roaring elbow, but Bruce ducks under and grabs him into a Flatliner! He drives Shine’s face into the mat and wraps his hands and legs around his throat! IT’S THE KOJI KLUTCH! Bruce has Shine trapped in the submission hold! The crowd starts chanting “TAP!” toward Shine, but he screams, grits his teeth, and tells the referee to f*ck off. Dan tries to crawl to the ropes, but he’s got a 300-plus pound man on him. Some of his loyal fans start cheering him on, as chants of “Dan! Dan! Dan!” can be heard from at least… five percent of the crowd. Dan refuses to tap and finally reverses the hold by breaking the grip around his neck and grabbing Bruce’s ankle into an ankle pick. He manages to roll around and lock Bishop into an ankle lock with a leg grapevine! Bishop is now caught in a submission and has to fight out of it or tap. Bruce tries to get to his feet, but Shine turns the ankle, forcing him back to the mat. Bishop manages to grab the ropes to force a break, and Dan releases, slowly getting back up…

Shine grabs Bruce from behind and attempts a German Shineplex, but Bishop blocks it and breaks the waistlock. He turns and tries a big boot, but Shine ducks under and attempts a Dragon Shineplex now. Bishop breaks the full nelson, so Dan goes to a German Shineplex again, but Bruce blocks it and breaks the grip. He turns and fires a big forearm to Shine’s jaw. Bruce runs to the ropes and returns… and Shine catches him with an overhead Belly-to-Belly Shineplex! Bruce gets dropped on his head but tries to get back to his feet. Dan grabs him from behind and nails a big German Suplex! The crowd cheers him on as he tenaciously pulls Bishop back to his feet and this time grabs him into a Dragon Suplex! He lifts Bruce one final time and connects with a Tiger Suplex, driving Bishop onto his neck. Shine releases the double chickenwing and floats around, applying the Shinedown! BEAST CHOKER! BEAST CHOKER! Bruce is trapped! Martinez pounds the mat, yelling at Bishop to tap out. Shine holds onto it, but Bruce isn’t done fighting yet. He struggles, trying to escape, but Shine tights his grip as much as possible, choking Bishop. Bruce’s eyes eventually roll into the back of his head as he goes limp. The referee raises his arm once… and it drops. He lifts Bruce’s arm again, and it falls to the mat. The ref raises Bishop’s hand a third time… and it is the final time, as it slaps the mat, and Bruce has passed out.

Winner: Daniel Shine via Passout at 30:27

The crowd cheers, most likely for the match and not necessarily Daniel Shine. Terry Martinez slides inside the ring, and Daniel Shine’s protégé, James Owens, comes out from the back, sliding inside as well. The two men hoist Dan onto their shoulders. He nearly falls off from being so goddamned tired, but he manages to soak in the glory of beating Bruce Bishop in one of the greatest I Quit matches of all time…

Martinez and Owens set Dan down as Bishop is getting his bearings and returns to his knees. Shine looks at Bruce, who stares back at the Pure Wrestling Phenom. Bishop pulls himself to his feet, which isn’t an easy task. Neither man seems well after this hellacious match. Bruce and Dan have an intense stare down before Bishop extends his hand. The crowd cheers as Dan looks at Martinez and Owens, who bust up laughing. Shine scowls a bit… and then accepts the handshake. Martinez and Owens suddenly get serious, not expecting that to happen. Bishop pulls Shine in, and they share some intense words, before Dan backs off. Shine nods, and Bruce exits the ring, leaving him with his two comrades.

Match six:
Murderous Intent © versus Studio 54 versus The Grandstands
Exhibition: Tables, Ladders, and Chairs; PWW Tag Team Championships

As The Grandstands and Studio 54 wait inside the ring, Drake Vinaldi makes his way to the ring. The PWW World Tag Team Championships are hanging high above the squared circle as the Sicilian Shooter is attempting to defend them alone. Vinaldi slides inside the ring and stares at all four men. Nexus and Taurus charge Vinaldi first, with Drake shooting in for a double leg takedown on Taurus. Nexus grabs him from behind and tries to lock on a chinlock, but Vinaldi throws him overhead with a judo toss. Taurus runs into a spinning back kick to the stomach, followed by a flick kick to the back of the head that sends him down to the mat. Nexus runs into a spinning side kick that takes him down as well. Johnny Reed charges Vinaldi, but he gets dropped with a big scooping double leg slam, and Drake goes to work, pounding his face with forearms. Vista grabs Vinaldi from behind, around the neck, and pulls him into a sleeper. Drake fires some elbows into the nose of his adversary and delivers a double mule kick to the chest, sending Vista back down into the mat. Reed takes some slaps, followed by a big spinning backfist, but Nexus and Taurus jump Vinaldi from behind with forearms. They drop the Tag Champ and begin stomping and kicking him while he’s on the mat. Vista soon joins in, firing a few of his own kicks. Reed gets back to his feet and drops some elbows on Vinaldi, and now it’s just a big ol’ gang rape.

Drake gets kicked about fifty times by forty different people. Vista lifts him to his feet and delivers a two-handed overhead choke suplex, throwing Drake onto his back. Vinaldi coughs a bit as Reed and Nexus stomp him in the stomach. Nexus shoves Reed away and motions for Taurus to help him. They each grab one of Vinaldi’s legs… and apply a double half crab. Reed and Vista look at each other for a moment… and then kick Taurus and Nexus, respectively. Vista grabs Nexus and lifts him above his head into a gorilla press, showing his power. He then drops him into a snapping fallaway slam! Nexus rolls out of the ring as Reed and Taurus exchange forearms in the corner. Vista hits Taurus with a blow to the back of the head and grabs him into a full nelson as Reed lays into him with punches and kicks to the stomach. Taurus mule kicks Vista between the legs and catches Reed with a big shot to the head. He grabs him into a side headlock and jumps, wrapping his legs around Vista’s neck and takes both men over with a headlock/headscissors takeover combo! Nexus gets on the apron as Taurus turns his attention to the downed Vinaldi. He lifts him into the electric chair position, and Nexus goes to the top rope, setting up a dropkick. Vinaldi instead counters, rolling forward into a victory roll… one, two, three!

Murderous Intent is eligible to climb the ladder.

Taurus gets to his feet and kicks and stomps the crap out of Vinaldi, shocked that the Sicilian Shooter was able to get a pin out of nowhere. He lifts Drake and delivers a pendulum backbreaker, holding him as Nexus dives off the top with a leg drop to the neck, taking Vinaldi down. Vista and Reed are back in the ring, wielding chairs now. Vista takes Nexus down from behind with a vicious chair shot. Taurus manages to duck under an attempt by Reed to attack him and catches him with a spinning wheel kick into the chair, kicking it into his face. Trent is back to his feet, but he gets turned inside out by a clothesline from the Showcase, Michael Vista. Vista lifts Taurus and whips him into the corner. He grabs a chair and charges, but takes two feet to the face, sending the chair into his head as well. Michael falls to the mat, and Taurus lifts himself to the middle ropes, leaping off quickly with a big elbow on the chest. He covers, but Reed pulls him off. Reed sends Taurus into the ropes and tries a tiltawhirl backbreaker, but it gets reversed into an armdrag. Trent gets to his feet and tries a wheelbarrow bulldog, but Reed lifts him and connects with a sick backbreaker! He makes the cover, hoping to capitalize, but Nexus flies off the top rope in time with a big splash to the back, breaking it up.

Meanwhile, Vinaldi has pulled a ladder out from under the ring and slides it inside the ring, getting inside himself. He looks around, seeing the bodies lying around the ring. He sets the ladder up in the middle, hoping to climb, but Nexus grabs him from behind, attempting a powerbomb. Drake fights back with a few punches and snaps off a huracarrana, sending Nick onto the mat. The ladder falls to the mat from the action, but Drake doesn’t care. Vinaldi is back to his feet, and Vista tosses a chair his way, catching him in the face. Drake staggers into the corner, and the big man charges, looking for a clothesline. Vinaldi ducks under and fires a series of vicious slaps to the face! He attempts a spinning back fist, but Vista grabs him and goes for a big back suplex. Vinaldi lands on his feet behind him and dropkicks Vista into the middle turnbuckle. He then hooks both of The Showcase’s arms over the ropes and places his head under the turnbuckle before lifting his… ass… into the air. Drake takes a few steps back and takes aim, before looking away in disgust. He screams in anger and charges, delivering a VERY powerful dropkick into the deep recesses of Michael Vista’s rectum! ANAL PROBULAR~! I think I just saw a gap of light, like there’s been a rip in the space-time continuum or something… Reed tries to blindside Vinaldi, but he gets back bodydropped all the way over the top rope, crash landing on the outside!

Vinaldi runs to the opposite side of the ring and charges, connecting with a sick suicide dive on Reed, and both men crash into the guardrails. Studio 54 is back in the ring, taking advantage of Vista, but not in as humiliating a way as Vinaldi had moments earlier. Taurus nails a side Russian leg sweep, and Nexus springs off the middle rope with a twisting leg drop to the throat. Double pin, but Vista shows his vitality by kicking out. Nexus and Taurus grab the biggest man in the match from behind and deliver a double front Russian leg sweep. Taurus springs off the middle rope and connects with a Lionsault. Nexus then climbs to the top rope as Taurus rolls Vista toward him. However, Johnny Reed is able to shove Nexus, crotching him on the top rope. Vinaldi meanwhile sneaks in and nails a big kick to the back of Taurus’ head before planting him with a vicious Backdrop Driver! He grabs the ladder that was previously knocked down and lays it on the mat, probably thinking about when to set it up. However, he has to contend with Johnny Reed, who has just slid another ladder inside the ring. Vinaldi catches Reed coming in with a kick to the head. He runs to the ropes as Reed returns to his feet and nails a single leg dropkick to the jaw, taking him down. Vinaldi then runs to the ropes and returns with a vicious powerdrive elbow to the chest of The Big F’N Story.

Nexus is off the top rope and has a chair in hand. He smacks Vinaldi in the back with it, catching him by surprise again, and Drake falls to the mat, on all fours. Nexus grabs the chair and walks to Vinaldi’s head before leaping into the air and nailing a chair-assisted leg drop onto the back of Drake’s head. He rolls him over for a cover, but Vista is there to break it up. Taurus is up to the top rope and flies off with a missile dropkick to the back of Vista, sending him through the ropes and to the outside floor. Nexus rolls Vinaldi out of the ring as well, and Studio 54 focus on Reed. Taurus lifts Johnny into the air with a back suplex as Nexus nails a neckbreaker. They make the cover, but Reed is able to kick out at two and a half. Taurus points to the apron, and Nexus gets on the apron, readying himself for a springboard. Trent lifts Johnny into a powerbomb, and the two men set up a variant of the Sexy Party. However, once Nexus springs to the top rope, Vista is there to crotch Nexus on the top rope. Man, the rest of his night is ruined… Taurus completes the powerbomb and tries to get a pin that way, but Vista kicks him in the back of the head and pulls him to his feet, delivering a quick version of the Director’s Cut! He makes the cover, but Taurus is able to kick out before three.

Vinaldi has a table pulled out from under the ring and slides it inside. Vista turns his attention to Drake and grabs him as he gets in the ring, but Vinaldi fights him off with a few kicks and knees. Drake goes for a big spin kick, but Vista ducks under and attempts a German Suplex. Drake flips over his head and waits on Vista to turn around before kicking him sharply in the knee. He runs to the ropes and returns and nails… the Glimmering Warlock. What a p*ssy ass Shining Wizard. I’m ashamed to know you, Drake. Vista just stares at him, and Drake, realizing he just missed the kick, delivers a stiff kick to the chest. He pounds the mat and screams before delivering a second powerful kick to the chest. Vinaldi pounds the mat again and attempts the Killing Blow, but Vista ducks under and grabs Vinaldi into the Special Effect. Vinaldi manages to fight out, throwing a few elbows. He gets out of the choke and connects with a Pele kick to the head! Vinaldi runs to the ropes and returns while screaming like a Banshee with a crazy torpedo dropkick to the stomach that sends Vista into the corner turnbuckles. He clutches his head in pain, but Vinaldi isn’t done yet. He grabs a conveniently placed steel chair and charges with it… baseball slide dropkick with the chair, into the face of Vista!

Vinaldi drags Vista away from the corner and climbs to the top rope, setting up his Lunatic High, but Nexus crotches him. Reed and Nexus fire a few shots on Vinaldi’s head before climbing on either side, setting up a double superplex. Taurus is to his feet, and he grabs Reed from behind into a powerbomb. Vista somehow gets to his feet as well, though now bleeding, and grabs Nexus into the same powerbomb, and all five men come crashing down! TOWER O’ DOOMAH~! Vista and Taurus are first to their feet. The big man catches Trent off guard with a sharp knee to the gut. He nails a snap suplex and tries to get a pin that way, but Nexus drops a big elbow on the back of the head to break it up. Reed nails Nexus over the head with a steel chair, dropping him to the mat. He springs off the middle rope and connects with a corkscrew senton into the stomach. Reed makes the cover, but Nexus kicks out. Johnny yells at Vista to get over there, and Michael very nonchalantly tosses Taurus out of the ring. Vista lifts Johnny into a vertical suplex… and the move they complete is quite News Worthy! A double pin by The Grandstands, and they pick up a fall.

The Grandstands is eligible to climb the ladder.

Vista and Reed waste no time in grabbing the ladder and setting it up in the middle of the ring. Nexus is still out of it as the two men climb either side of the ladder. Taurus is on the outside, so it looks like they have a clear getaway… But they forgot about Vinaldi, who tips the ladder over, sending both men crashing over the top rope and to the floor. Vinaldi sets the ladder up again and climbs… This is his shot! But wait! Trent Taurus is back inside, and he cracks Vinaldi in the back with a chair! Drake falls to the mat, clutching his spine, and Taurus puts the boots to him while yelling at Nexus to get up. Nick gets to his feet and grabs the table, setting it up on one of the sides of the ladder. Studio 54 lifts Vinaldi to his feet and nails a double suplex onto the mat. They roll Drake onto the table, and Nick fires shots to the head of Drake as he tries to get off. Taurus climbs the ladder, getting all the way to the top as the fans scream. Taurus does a little hip swivel, getting boos from the crowd, and then jumps off… TEASE AND TORTURE THROUGH THE TABLE! The crowd goes nuts as Studio 54 covers the remains of Drake Vinaldi… one, two, three.

Studio 54 is eligible to climb the ladder.

Vista and Reed get back in the ring, but they realize it’s too late, as all teams are now legal to grab the belts. Vista manages to blindside Nexus with a half nelson suplex from behind, dropping him on his head. Reed doesn’t have the same fortune, as Taurus takes him out with a spinning heel kick. Vista and Taurus stare at each other… before both dart to the ladder and try climbing either side. They get part of the way up, about three quarters, before exchanging rights and lefts. Vista gains the advantage due to his size and grabs Taurus by the hair, smacking his skull off the top of the ladder a few times. That’ll ruin his pretty face. He grabs Taurus around the face… and jumps off the ladder with a version of LIGHTS!, his patented half nelson bulldog! The crowd erupts, and both men are down on the mat. Nexus and Reed struggle to their feet, but before one can climb the ladder, they each grab steel chairs. They circle each other in a corner of the ring, until Reed gets backed into a corner. Nexus charges, trying to strike him with the chair. Reed ducks and moves out of the way, and Nexus smacks the chair off the top turnbuckle. He turns and blocks a shot by Reed just in time, using his own chair against Reed’s. They smack each other’s chairs a few times before Nexus is smart enough to just throw the chair at Reed’s knee, catching him off guard. He then dropkicks the chair into Reed’s face, sending him staggering out of the ring. Nexus goes and grabs the other ladder, while kicking the remnants of the table from earlier out of the ring.

He places the ladder in the corner and grabs Reed, not done with him yet. He tries to Irish whip the Big F’N Story into the ladder, but Reed reverses, sending Nexus into there HARD. Nick flips and falls to the mat, clutching his back in great agony. Reed is bleeding now, as both members of the Grandstands and Drake Vinaldi have been busted open throughout the chaos in this match. The cameraman gets a shot of Trent Taurus, who is being stomped by Michael Vista. Reed goes and joins up with his tag team partner and they decide it’s time to climb the ladder. Reed gets the smart idea of grabbing another ladder and placing it side by side with the first one that’s set up. The two climb on opposite sides of different ladders, hoping one of them can get the belts. Drake Vinaldi is SOMEHOW back to his feet and tosses a chair at Reed, catching him in the back of the head. He goes around and grabs Vista and tries to powerbomb him off the ladder, but Michael fights back with some hard rights to the skull. Vinaldi staggers forward… and connects with a Pele kick to the back! He then springs off the middle rope and nails a Ganmengiri kick to the back, causing Vista to trip and get his legs caught in the ladder before dropping down! He’s stuck, and Vinaldi knocks the ladder Reed was climbing down. He climbs the opposite side of the ladder that Vista is trapped on. Vinaldi is just inches away from getting the belts, but Studio 54 are back to their feet. He realizes he has to be quick, so he… wait, what? Vinaldi… stands on the top of the ladder and looks at Vista below him… AND JUMPS OFF! TREE OF WOE LUNATIC HIGH! THE ENTIRE LADDER CRASHES! MICHAEL VISTA’S LEGS MAY BE BROKEN!

Oh, my God… Vinaldi, you sick bastard. The fans are going absolutely insane as the only thing you can make out between all the cheers and screaming is “Holy sh*t!” Both Vinaldi and Vista are down, and Studio 54 realize they now have a shot at getting those titles. Nexus and Taurus are on the outside, and they pull ANOTHER ladder out from under the ring. But this isn’t an ordinary ladder. Oh, no… this is a SUPER ladder! The crowd gets riled up again as Studio 54 slide this humongous 20-footer inside the ring. They set the ladder up directly under the belts, and the top of it actually touches the titles. That’s how tall it is. Nexus starts climbing as Taurus stands guard. Reed sneaks onto the ladder behind Taurus, and he spots him. Reed tries to scurry up the ladder, but Taurus grabs him from behind, holding him. He yells at Nexus to go, but Reed starts toppling the ladder. The big ladder is a bit sturdier, but Vinaldi is to his feet now, miraculously, and he dropkicks the ladder out from under the three men, causing all four to get crushed under the mighty ladder. Vista is lying on the outside, clutching his legs and chest in pain from the earlier attack by Vinaldi, so he can’t even capitalize.

After a moment passes, Vinaldi sets the super ladder up in the middle of the ring again, this time with one side facing the entryway and the other facing the announcer’s table. He starts climbing the side nearest the entryway, but that resilient Johnny Reed cracks him in the back with a hard forearm and grabs Drake off the ladder, powerbombing him all the way from the inside of the ring to the outside floor! Vinaldi is out… Reed turns back to the super ladder, but he instead grabs one of the smaller ladders… and places it on the ledge of the super ladder and on the top rope, making a platform. He climbs onto the platform, making it easier to get to the top. He walks across and tries to grab the belts, but Taurus quickly jumps onto the platform and nails an enzuigiri to the back of the head, causing Reed to lose his balance and fall off. Taurus gets to his feet, and Nexus is climbing on the other side. Studio 54 can win this thing… but there’s Michael Vista, with a ladder of his own, and he drives it into the spine of Nick Nexus, causing him to fall off. And then, like a javelin, he throws it and catches Taurus in the stomach, causing him to fall off as well, and the ladder to crash to the mat. Vista slowly climbs onto the platform, nursing his knees. Surprisingly, it supports his larger frame easily. He climbs up the ladder, but Nexus refuses to say die.

He grabs a chair and throws it, smacking it off Vista’s head. Michael falls off, landing hard on the mat. The Showcase is down as Nexus climbs onto the platform… and nails a shooting star press! The crowd pops, and Nexus crawls to the ropes, using them to pull himself up. He steps through the ropes and to the outside floor, where he pulls out another table… He places it on the outside of the ring and reaches inside, grabbing Vista. He drags Vista onto the table, and then climbs inside the ring. Vista is out on the table, and Nexus is preparing to dive onto him, but Reed catches him in the back with one of the normal ladders. He then places the ladder on his head and spins, driving the steel into Nexus’ face! Taurus ducks under an attempt by Reed to do the same to him, and he catches Johnny with a chop block to the knee, causing him to fall, and the ladder to topple on top of him. Taurus grabs the ladder off him and then slams it back onto him, driving the steel onto his chest and face. He grabs the ladder once more, and this time Taurus places it between the other side of the ladder and on the top rope. He climbs onto this other platform now, and there’s a platform on either side of this super ladder.

Taurus gets on the platform and starts climbing the super ladder. He has his hand on the belt, but Reed is back to his feet. Goddamn, what will it take to kill him? Reed grabs the ladder and tries tilting it, but it’s much more difficult to tilt the super ladder, especially when the platforms are on the sides. He realizes this and instead climbs up the platform on the same side as Taurus, firing wicked shots to his back. Taurus almost had the belts, but Reed grabs him around the legs and drops back, delivering an electric chair suplex onto the ladder platform! OUCH! Nexus climbs the other ladder platform on the other side and gets to the top of it, trying to climb the big ladder now, but Reed spots him and steps around the super ladder, which is a hard feat. He smacks Nexus’ face off the ladder and tries to back suplex him off, but Nexus blocks it and instead bulldogs Reed onto the platform! My God, these men are laying it all on the line… Nexus climbs the platform on the other side now, but Vista is back in the ring, limping heavily, and he grabs Nexus off it and powerbombs him to the mat. Vista collapses, grabbing his legs again, and all of the participants are obviously in great pain. The cameras catch Drake Vinaldi on the outside, sliding inside the ring with a steel chair. He spots Taurus getting to his feet and cracks him in the skull. Vista tries to get to his feet, but Vinaldi takes a big swing at his knees, taking him out. Reed and Nexus are trying to get up, but Vinaldi bashes both in the head with the chair. He then takes the chair with him as he climbs onto the ladder platform and works his way across. However, Trent Taurus is back up and he dropkicks the ladder platform, causing Vinaldi to lose his balance and fall through, crotching himself on the hard steel step!

I know ladders were never intended to be used in this way… Vinaldi is nursing his groin, and Taurus grabs him, leaning him back so his legs are caught on the ladder platform, but his neck and chest are exposed, laying over the edge of the ladder. Taurus climbs onto the ladder platform… and then legdrops Vinaldi, almost decapitating the poor bastard! Taurus is to his feet, but Vista is as well, and he Irish whips Taurus, sending him face-first into the ladder platform, causing him to fall to the mat from the impact. Vista spots Nexus and Reed, and he yells at Reed to take care of Nick as he climbs. Nexus catches this and superkicks Reed in the jaw, sending him to the mat. Vista hobbles to the platform and tries climbing, but Nexus nails a dropkick to his back and grabs him from behind with a hangman’s neckbreaker. Nexus removes the platform on the side nearest the announcer’s table and throws the ladder toward the corner. He then grabs the other platform and removes it as well, tossing this ladder over the top rope. Nexus spots Reed returning to his feet and clotheslines him so hard that both men go over the top rope and land on the outside. Vista can barely get to his feet before Vinaldi connects with the Killing Blow! Vista drops to the mat, and Drake nails a standing Lunatic High for good measure. However, Taurus gives Vinaldi a stiff lariat from behind, sending him to the mat. Trent grabs the ladder and places it on the mat. He lifts Drake and tries to deliver the Blacklist onto the ladder, but Vinaldi shoves him into the ropes. Drake attempts a big kick, but Taurus ducks and low blows him before nailing a superkick that sends Vinaldi over the top rope, rolling into Reed and Nexus, tripping them up as well. Taurus grabs the super ladder and starts to climb it, hoping to grab the titles. However, The Showcase has something to say about that. Vista amazingly gets back up and topples the ladder over, sending Taurus crashing onto all three other opponents!

Vista has a clear shot at winning this goddamned match! If his knees don’t give out, that is… He starts climbing the ladder, but it’s obvious his legs are aching. He writhes with agony as he climbs to the halfway point. He reaches up, realizing he’s just a foot or two short of the belts. He climbs up some more… when suddenly, Will Bauer runs in from the crowd! He slides in the ring and tips the ladder over, sending Vista crashing to the mat! Vista tries to get to his feet, but Bauer runs off the ropes… ULTRAVIOLENT RADIATION~! The crowd explodes for Will Bauer, who rips his shirt off and tosses it toward the crowd. I wonder what took him so f*cking long. Vinaldi is to his feet now, and he spots Bauer. He rubs his eyes at first, and then rolls inside the ring. Bauer goes to give him a knuckle bump, but Vinaldi slaps it away and starts screaming at him, asking him where the hell he’s been. Bauer tries to explain, but Nexus and Taurus come in the ring and attack the two men from behind. Nexus and Reed toss the weakened Vinaldi aside and focus on Bauer, nailing some double stomps and punches. They then get a smart idea. They bring Bauer toward the middle of the ring… and nail the Total Elimination! Studio 54 steals Murderous Intent’s own finisher and uses it on Bauer! Will falls to the mat, but Taurus and Nexus aren’t done yet. They grab Vista, who is still down, and drag him to one side of the super ladder. They then drag Bauer to the other. Taurus and Nexus climb the opposite sides of the super ladder and get to the top. They pause for a few seconds… before nailing stereo moonsaults onto both men! What the fuuuuuuuuuuuu*k?!

The fans are actually cheering Studio 54, who besides their flamboyancy and arrogance aren’t half bad in the ring. Reed comes in the ring again, and he has another steel chair. He tosses it to Taurus and attempts a spin kick into the chair, but Taurus ducks and smacks Reed in the head with the steel chair. He motions to Nexus to climb the ladder now, and he does. However, Vinaldi gets to his feet and charges, like a crazy ass cheetah, and dropkicks the chair into the face of Trent Taurus! Everybody in the mat, barring Bauer, is bleeding and aching. Vinaldi grabs the chair and fights through that pain, climbing up the ladder. Bauer is to his feet now as well, and he tries to grab Nexus off the ladder. Nick catches him with a few kicks to the head and jumps off, snapping off a huracarrana! He gets to his feet quickly and grabs another chair. He runs around the ladder and smacks Vinaldi in the leg, causing him to drop his own chair. Nexus then tosses the chair upwards, catching Vinaldi in the back. He grabs both chairs and looks around for Taurus, before realizing he won’t be getting back to his feet soon. He spots Bauer and decides he’s gotta do this on his own. Nexus lays one chair on the mat and rolls Bauer onto it. He grabs the other chair and tries a one-man conchairto, but Bauer moves out of the way in the nick of time. Bauer grabs the bottom chair and thrusts it into the stomach of Nexus. He tries to smack him in the head with it, but the Big F’N Story catches Bauer from behind with a chop block. Vista grabs Bauer and lifts him into a bear hug as Reed runs to the ropes and completes the Back to the B-List!

Reed gets an enzuigiri to the head by Nexus, sending him rolling out of the ring. Vista grabs Nexus and tries to finish him with a modified uranage slam, but Nexus counters it with elbows. The two men are exchanging shots, when Vinaldi nails a double dropkick that sends both out of the ring, onto the fallen Johnny Reed. Vinaldi turns back to the ladder and climbs, climbs like he’s never climbed before… Bauer lays on the mat still, down from the double team, and Vinaldi is going after the belts. However, Trent Taurus is back to his feet, and he’s climbing the other side. The two men are on the top of this super ladder, with the belts literally within an inch of their grasp. They exchange punches, and Vinaldi gets the better of it. T
